Description

Deliciously soft and chewy Chocolate Pudding Cookies made with a simple mix of butter, sugars, chocolate pudding mix, and dark chocolate chips. These cookies have a unique moist texture thanks to the pudding mix, and are perfect for any chocolate lover looking for a quick and easy homemade treat.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • ½ Cup salted butter
  • ½ Cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ Cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 ½ Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ Teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it is hot and ready when your cookie dough is prepared.
  2. Add Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the salted butter, white granulated sugar, and light brown sugar.
  3. Cream Mixture: Using an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with the sugar fully dissolved.
  4. Incorporate Egg: Whisk in the large egg for about one minute, making sure it is fully blended into the creamed sugar mixture.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Lower the mixer speed and gently whisk in the all-purpose flour, chocolate pudding mix, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until the wet and dry ingredients are fully combined.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the cup of dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Form Cookies: Using a large spoon or standard cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
  8. Chill Dough (Optional): If you have time, refrigerate the cookie dough balls for 30 minutes to help prevent spreading during baking.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11 minutes, or until they are just set and lightly firm around the edges.
  10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is optional but recommended to maintain cookie shape and improve texture.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheets for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Dark chocolate chips can be substituted with semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
  • Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
