Best of Both Worlds: Chocolate Chip + Pudding Cookies

Combining your favourite desserts/ingredients to make a super-dessert is not always wise. It did not end well for the Bean Pie, nor for the Tuna Twinkie (yes, unfortunately, they’re real). Pudding and chocolate chip cookies, however, make a wonderful combination that will please even the toughest cookie critic in your life. These cookies are by far the easiest and most consistently loved dessert I have ever made, so I hope you enjoy them!

What you will need (for 6 dozen cookies- they will go fast!):

• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix (I used a Jello brand one)
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

What you need to do:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In one medium sized bowl, combine the flour and baking soda, and set aside for later.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Once smooth, add in the pudding mix until well blended.
4. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
5. Blend the flour mixture into the liquid mixture. Once smooth, add in your chocolate chips.
6. Drop cookies by spoonful onto greased cookie sheets. (Note: these cookies don’t flatten much because of the pudding mix, so keep this in mind when you are dropping them).
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. Enjoy!
