Ingredients

  • 2 cups of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ¾ cup of unsalted butter that is soft and ready to use
  • 1 cup of tightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 packet of instant vanilla pudding mix (3.5 ounces)
  • 1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons of flavorful vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups of delicious semisweet chocolate chips

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to achieve the perfect baking temperature for these delectable cookies.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, whisking them together for a harmonious blend of dry ingredients.

Step 3

In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, brown sugar, and pudding mix until they form a smooth and creamy mixture. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to create a flavorful base.

Step 4

Gently incorporate the flour mixture into the egg blend, being careful not to overmix, and then fold in the luscious chocolate chips for that irresistible touch.

Step 5

Shape the dough into 2-inch balls and arrange them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, allowing room for spreading while baking.

Step 6

Slide the trays into the preheated oven and bake until the cookies turn a lovely golden brown hue, approximately 15 minutes. Enjoy the aroma filling your kitchen as these delightful treats come to life!
