Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

By srumbel

Before we left, I made these cookies to take with us. They are just simple chocolate chip pudding cookies. The pudding in the cookie dough makes them stay moist for a long time, perfect for traveling.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, 2 sticks
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 (3.9 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°. Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and mix well. Add vanilla pudding mix and vanilla extract. Mix well. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Add to cookie dough and mix until just combined. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl and mix again. Add chocolate chips and mix until combined.

Chill cookie dough in the refrigerator about 1 hour, enough that it is pretty firm. Scoop by the tablespoon on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until very lightly browned on the edges, Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
