Anyone who knows me knows that I love chocolate chip cookies. I usually make a couple batches a month at least. The problem is that we eat them all in about a day and a half, so I try not to make them too often. There are at least a hundred different recipes on Pinterest, all claiming to be the "best" chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have made three or four of them. This one caught my eye because of the unusual ingredient, vanilla pudding mix.
Henry helped me make today's batch. He had his eyes closed in the first picture I took, so he kept them open wide for this one! We almost had very runny cookies- after creaming the sugar and butter together, we added the wet ingredients and the pudding and then licked the beaters clean. Then I realized we hadn't put the dry ingredients from the other bowl into the mixture! Duh! Henry was happy to have another chance to lick the beaters (we washed them before we reused them to mix our ingredients, I promise).
These cookies keep their shape beautifully. You really do want to pull them out just as the edges are browning. I baked mine for 10 minutes and then pulled them out. They will finish perfectly if you leave them on the sheet on a cooling rack for ten minutes or so. If you love chewy, soft cookies that stay that way, this is the recipe for you!
