Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pudding Mix come out light and fluffy! No more flat chocolate chip cookies if you bake them with pudding!
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Today I'm sharing with you a recipe for Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies that are amazing! The pudding mix makes the cookies fluffy. You will not have flat cookies ever again! The last few times I made chocolate chip cookies they came out flat. Now, I like them flat and crispy but most people enjoy a fluffy chocolate chip cookie.
And you want them looking pretty when serving them on a tray for guests or giving away as gifts to friends. I have been searching for a way to make chocolate chip cookies look "pretty" again AND still taste delicious. The secret I found is to add vanilla pudding mix to the batter.
Some recipes call for a whole box of vanilla pudding mix, but this recipe just calls for a few tablespoons. The cookies were amazing and they looked beautiful when I took them out of the oven. I used my phone to take the above photo and thought, why not put a quick post together.

- ½ cup butter, softened

- ½ cup packed brown sugar

- 1 ½ cups flour
- 3 Tablespoons Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and pudding mix together; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream your butter and the sugars until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla and combine well.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and combine well.

Tips for Baking Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
- Make sure the butter is room temperature.
- Use a cookie scoop to help make sure all the cookies are the same size.
- Use parchment baking sheets to help the cookies bake evenly and not burn.
- Silpat Baking Sheets work really great too!
All the cookies to cool on baking racks before tasting!
How Many Cookies will this Recipe Make?
The recipe will make about 15 - 18 cookies depending on how big a cookie scoop you use. I would definitely double the recipe the next time I'm baking chocolate chip cookies. This really is a delicious and EASY recipe. Your cookies will never be flat again...or at least mine won't be flat again.

As I prefer mine flat and crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside, I am wondering how 3 Tbs of vanilla pudding could change things so much. I'm gonna find out! Thanks.
