Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour (12.5 ounces)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (I use half milk/half semi sweet chocolate chips.)

Instructions
 

  • Line large baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine butter, sugars, and dry pudding mix in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer at medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until very creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir into the wet ingredients just until barely combined, then add chocolate chips. Stir till well mixed.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion dough, then roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottoms are starting to turn golden brown. If desired, press a few chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
  • Cool 3-4 minutes on pans, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. 
  • If you want to freeze the cookies, freeze them in a single layer on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a heavy duty freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 6 months.
