    Hey there! I posted this recipe a while back, but I thought it deserved some new love and recognition. This is by far my most favorite recipe here on WMM and the pictures needed to match that! Plus I've included an easy step by step recipe video to show you just how easy it is

    These chocolate chip pudding cookies are the softest and most delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever had and it really deserves to shine. They're a favorite of anyone I make them for and the favorite of readers here on What Molly Made!

    On top of the video, I also went in to more detail about how you make these chocolate chip pudding cookies so perfect. I've made this recipe countless times and over the course of the last few years have nailed down the unique tips and tricks that made these cookies turn out perfect every time. I hop you enjoy them just as much as I do!

    15 chocolate chip cookies made with vanilla pudding cooling on a black cooling rack

    I've been making these chocolate chip pudding cookies ever since an old friend's mom gave me the pudding secret. At the time the pudding phenomenon was unheard of and it used to be "our secret ingredient." Now everyone is hip to the wonderful ingredient that keeps these cookies so soft.

    I've spent a few years perfecting this recipe, but we finally found my favorite techniques through lots of trial and error. So I want to share them with you!

    5 tips for making perfect chocolate chip pudding cookies every time

    1. Make sure to cream the butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar for the allotted amount of time. When you cream the butter and sugar together the sugar cuts into the butter and creates air pockets. This is what makes the cookies bake tall and not spread everywhere. It also makes them so thick and chewy!
    2. Measure the flour correctly. To measure it perfectly, spoon the flour into the measuring cup then scrape it off the top.
    3. Use parchment paper! A silicone baking mat works well too, but I swear by parchment. It creates even baking and the cookies stay thick and chewy the whole time.
    4. Use 1/4 cup of cookie dough for each cookie. Yes, that's a lot of cookie dough! But it's what makes them so perfect and thick. You're going to feel like it's a lot but don't worry, it's the perfect amount. I like to roll my dough into a rustic looking ball, it doesn't have to be perfect!
    5. Place chocolate chips on top when they come out of the oven. There's a good amount of chocolate chips in the batter, but adding a few more chocolate chips to the top of the cookie right when you pull them out of the oven makes them look perfect! That way the outside matches all the yummy and gooey cookie on the inside?

     I'm a sucker for soft-baked chocolate chip cookies. Emphasis on the soft-baked part. Give me a big crunchy cookie and I could pass it up any day of the week.

    The simple Ingredients

    As for the ingredients, nothing out of the ordinary or fancy schmanzy. Just the usual: flour, butter, baking soda, sugar, eggs, vanilla and love of course ❤️.

    Then comes the secret ingredient: the vanilla pudding. Just the instant pudding packet! The dry pudding goes right into the batter.

    I promise these cookies will stay soft for days!

    How to freeze cookies

    If you want to make them in advance the cookie dough or the baked cookies freeze really well. Just cover in an air tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Or freeze the dough and bake from frozen (just add an extra minute or two).

    The best part of these chocolate chip pudding cookies? They're quick! They only take around 10 minutes in the oven, a few extra to cool and you're ready to dunk in a big glass of milk! They'll look a little undercooked when you take them out of the oven, but I promise they will finish cooking on the baking sheet. I always like my cookies just barely cooked so they are extra soft.

    The recipe makes about 14-15 cookies, so if you're making them for a party or family I recommend doubling it to take to your event. But if not, I like to freeze the dough so I'm ready to take fresh baked cookies anywhere at the last minute. I always double this recipe when I make it so I can freeze half of the dough.

    I think this recipe holds the perfect amount of chocolate chips. There's plenty of chocolate in every bite! The dough is thick enough to hold all the good stuff, so if you're a chocolate lover feel free to add more.

    They're so soft, extra chewy, deliciously-buttery and oozing with melted gooey chocolate. They make your house (or apartment in my case) smell magical and they melt in your mouth right out of the oven. This recipe is unfailing and you can always count on it to bake someone's day, get some compliments at a party or as a pick me up just because.

    They make the best addition to your Christmas cookie spread and are a crowd pleaser all year round. They're a go-to in my house and I'm sure you will make them countless times too!

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour measured correctly
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup ((2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (vegan butter works too)
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 3.4 ounces vanilla instant pudding mix
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
    • Using a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light and creamy, at least 3 minutes. Do not skip this step. Once combined, add the pudding mix, vanilla and eggs and beat on high for 2-3 minutes.
    • Slowly add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and turn the mixer on low to start so the flour doesn't get everywhere. Turn the mixer up to high and mix until combined. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and repeat until dough is just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
    • Drop cookies by 1/4 cup onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden and just set on the top. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    How to freeze the dough: roll the dough into balls then freeze on a baking sheet. Once they're frozen solid, transfer to a plastic bag and freezer for up to 6 months. Bake from frozen for 1-2 minuets longer.
    How to freeze baked cookies: Allow to cool completely then store in an air tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temp then warm up in the microwave or oven.

      Together with the whole thing which seems to be building throughout this particular subject material, all your opinions happen to be somewhat refreshing. Even so, I beg your pardon, but I can not subscribe to your entire plan, all be it stimulating none the less. It looks to everybody that your comments are generally not completely validated and in fact you are yourself not fully certain of the point. In any event I did appreciate reading through it.

        Hey Nicole! That's not good. Were you measuring your flour correctly? You should spoon and level the flour (do not pack it). Hundreds of people have shared their finished cookies with me without a problem so I'm thinking an ingredient is bad or something else is up!

      1st time making a batch and shared with friends and family. Immediately everyone loved and asked for the recipe. I followed recipe as is and appreciated the tips. Only subbed chunks for chips, highly recommend for more chocolate per bite. Baking time took a lot longer than originally stated almost 30 mins for me. Overall delicious JUMBO cookies to make all year long.

        Thanks, Danielle! Was your baking time 30 minutes per batch or total? The baking time in the recipe is referring to how long one batch of cookies takes to bake, not all of the batches!

      It took 30 minutes to make 1 batch of cookies. May be due to oven variances!

      These are officially my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe now. I've made multiple variations with Molly's base recipe and they all turned out wonderful! I've never made cookies with pudding before but I don't think I'll ever stop now! Make sure you mixt the butter and the sugars together for the time that Molly says before you add the pudding. That made all the difference for me!

      I cannot recommend these cookies enough!

      My dad absolutely loves chocolate chip cookies and has had many different kinds, WELL this is one of his FAVORITES as is mine. I don't think I will use any other chocolate chip cookie recipe again! I have this one almost memorized from making it so often. Also, my grandpa loves butterscotch so I used butterscotch pudding mix with butterscotch chips and they turned out fantastic. You can get so creative with this recipe.

      I first tried this recipe a few years back and everybody that had a chance to try the cookies absolutely LOVED them. I’m not much of a baker so I make cookies only a few times a year, but every time I do I have to come find Molly’s recipe. We use mint chips and those are sure a huge hit in our house. The cookies don’t even last 24 hours, so you better enjoy them fast before you can’t enjoy them at all because they’re gone! I share this recipe with everybody...unsolicited cookie advice in some cases, I’m sure.

      If I could give it 100 stars I WOULD!!!! They’re THAT GOOD!!!!!! These are my go to cookies and have now become my signature at parties and events. I never ever take the time to write reviews but this one is an absolute MUST. Thank you thank you for this amazing recipe, I’ll never go without it :)*** pay attention to the flour part*** spooning the flour into the measuring cup ensures you don’t use too much, your dough should be really sticky and your cookies will look like they’re not done when you take them out, but once they cool you’ll realize that’s because of the pudding so don’t over bake and you’ll have melt in your mouth cookies every time!!!

      Can you clarify about the salt? It's not listed in the ingredients but you mention adding salt in the step by step instructions. How much salt should I use? I've made cookies similar to this with "salted butter" which obviously omits the salt ingredient, but they seem to come out too salty for my liking. Wanted to try your recipe since it called for unsalted butter but then got thrown off by the salt being mentioned in the instructions. I love pudding cookies!! So I hope you see this!

      It’s about time I came here and left a review. Molly I have been making your cookies for years now. They are what I am known for at holiday parties and gatherings. I make.. dozens. From the first bite of your original chocolate chip cookie years ago to now, I make awesome variations like White Chocalate Butterscotch Cranberry to Double Chocalate Mint chip. These are truly the most versatile cookies I have ever made and the pudding flavor combinations are endless. I say all of this to say, thank you! In a few short days I will be making 5 different batches for a work function and cannot wait to AGAIN blow the socks off of everyone who tries them!

      These are some of the best cookies. Friends that don’t like sweets much kept picking up these cookies. Very easy to make.
      Usually do take a little longer to cook but that is because I like them a little thicker.

      I’ve made these cookies multiple times and they always turn out fantastic! Even with my Bob Ross happy little accident of buying banana pudding…banana chocolate chips cookies were a hit as well!!

      These cookies are perfect! I’ve been making them for over a year now and it’s the only chocolate chip recipe I use. I bake for large amounts of people and they’re always asking for the recipe!

      For those that have replied with bake time, did you melt the butter or use at room temp? Room temp is key.

        Hey April! I haven't tried doing that, but you could maybe press it into a round cake pan and bake it that way. The cook time will vary, so you'll have to keep an eye out for how long it takes to bake.

      All I have on hand is sugar-free pudding mix. Can I use that instead and do you know about how much a conversion would be? For example the regular mix comes in a 3.4 oz box but the sugar free is a 1 oz box.

      Well I know why some people are getting amazing cookies and some are getting cookies that don’t spread an inch. I followed ur recipe which states 3.4 oz of pudding mix, where as in ur video you only use one box of pudding mix which is only 1 oz (as stated on the box). Some people including myself put 3 times the amount of pudding mix in their recipe! Please fix this for future people and cookies! 💕

      I’ve made chocolate chip cookies with pudding before, but they’ve never been very good. These are so god damn good. Seriously delicious. I’m struggling not to eat them all in one go. I make a lot of cookies (my partners fav lunch box treat), when he got home and gave them a go he said he wanted these all the time. Thanks for such a delicious recipe!

      I’ve makes these cookie countless of times. They always come out delicious and chewy. I can’t stand behind a crunchy cookie. I want to make them for friends but they are vegan. If I use vegan butter and take out the eggs would it still work? Or what can I sub the eggs for?

      Made a double batch. They are great but you need to look at the butter amount. It says 2 cups, but it states 2 sticks. Need to change that. Some people may be confused but great cookies.

      Can you tell me why you don't add the pudding mix in with the dry ingredients so it would be incorporated better? Just curious.

      Reply
      • Molly Thompson says

        February 01, 2023 at 5:29 pm

        Hey Monica! Adding it with the eggs and vanilla gives you extra time to whip the pudding in and affect the final texture of the cookie with the pudding. If you add it to the flour you aren't able to beat it for another 2-3 minutes because you want to mix in the dry ingredients until they're just combined. Hope that makes seense!

      I’ve read some comments where people say their cookies don’t spread. I had the exact opposite issue. My cookies are flat as pancakes. I’m not sure what I did wrong, I followed the recipe exactly and spooned my flour.. any ideas?

      Reply
      • Molly Thompson says

        March 09, 2023 at 8:54 am

        Flat cookies are typically a result of the temperature of your ingredients. I'd double-check how much butter you used (might have accidentally added too much) or the temp of your butter was off. Room temp butter should only be set out for 1 ish hours. Watch the video above the recipe to get a good idea of this!

      These are the best cookies of all time. My coworkers are always so excited when I make them. I usually make them with regular chocolate chips and sprinkles, but I’ve made the craisins/white chocolate chip variation too. I usually make the dough and freeze it in balls for easy parties!

      Fantastic cookies. My kids ask for these so often that I just always keep the ingredients on hand. My son (17) has even memorized the recipe! They disappear quickly! My kiddos prefer white chocolate chips but otherwise I make them according to the recipe, as is! Thank you so much for sharing!
