Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 and ¾ cup all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
  • cup vanilla pudding mix, not cook n' serve
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, plus more for dotting on top of the cookies

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a large bowl using a hand-held or stand electric mixer on medium speed beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until well combined and no lumps remain. Add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and continue mixing until combined. 
  • Turn off the mixer and add in the flour, pudding mix (you do not need to prepare the pudding), baking soda, baking powder and salt. First stir together using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Then turn the mixer onto low-medium and continue beating until combined. Add in 1 cup of chocolate chips and stir in to combined using your large wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
  • Form the cookies into balls about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons in size (I like to use a cookie scoop). Place each ball 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten the balls slightly and place a few extra chocolate chips on the tops of each muffin. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tops look just set. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. 

Notes

*If you don't have vanilla pudding mix on hand, instead add 2 extra tablespoons of flour plus 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to the batter.
