Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3.4-ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the instant vanilla pudding mix and beat until it is fully incorporated into the wet ingredients.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 7
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will set as they cool).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your soft, chewy Ethel's Pudding Cookies!
