Vanilla Pudding Cookies

A Taste of the Best

Since this is the first official recipe I am posting here I'd like to warn you that I am NOT a good photographer and my kitchen has the worst lighting! Because I believe we eat with our eyes, I want to try to add as many pictures of the recipe as I can but please don't pay attention to (or judge me) on my bad photo skills :). These cookies seem to be all the rage in blog-land (I can't even remember where I got this recipe) so I decided to give them a try. We are BIG chocolate chip cookie fans in my house and this is by far my new favorite recipe for this all-time favorite. I am not against convenience foods but taking the time to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch is definitely worth it. They just taste so much better than pre-made cookie dough in my opinion. I have actually made these cookies three times since copying down the recipe a few weeks ago. The first two times I made them as the recipe states and used vanilla pudding mix. When I made them for this post I decided to try it using chocolate pudding. Whichever flavor you use they will be YUMMY! The pudding mix seems a little odd but you can't taste it in the cookies and it makes the cookies so incredibly soft!

Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Homemade Italian Meatballs Buffalo Pretzels Sweet and Sour Meatballs Next you cream together your softened (or squishy as Muffin Man calls it) butter with the sugars, add the pudding mix, eggs and vanilla. I usually scrape the bowl a few times during this process to make sure it's all incorporated. Once it's all creamed you add your flour mixture and once that is all combined you stir in your chocolate chips.

Once the chips are stirred in you are going to place them onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a scoop for this because it makes them all the same size. Uniformity makes me happy. But it also ensures the cookies all bake at the same rate.

Here is what they look like when they are done. I always like to slightly under-

cook my cookies because we like them soft. All ovens are different but in my oven these cookies take 10 minutes. After I take them out of the oven I leave them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before I remove them to a cooling rack. Little brown gobs of chocolaty deliciousness!
