The Softest Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I finally made the perfect chocolate chip cookie!!!

I have a friend (you know who you are) who makes the fluffiest cookies that my husband goes nuts over. When I try to make them, they come out flat! Must be my oven, the pan, or the cookie fairy just does not like me? I’m good at making cakes, not cookies! Well no more… You must try this recipe:-)

The Softest Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 2 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 pkg chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Directions:

  1. Stir baking soda, flour and salt; set aside.
  2. Combine butter, sugars and pudding mix, beating until fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla and egg; beat until smooth.
  4. Add dry ingredients; mix well.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
  6. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes.

    I can’t wait to try your recipe. The instant vanilla pudding kinda threw me off at first.

    Oh and I’m absolutely in love with Banana Nut Muffins. I could eat them for breakfast every day!

    I found the answer to flat chocolate chip cookies: cold butter and a little extra flour! I found a buch of tips on http://www.baking911.com/cookies/chocolate_chip.htm. My last batch turned out great but I think I’ll try your recipe next time and compare. It’ll be yummy!

    I heard a long time ago, one of the secrets to making your cookies “fluffier” is to have all of your ingredients room temp – so try taking your egg(s) out to warm up a bit before you make them

    That recipe sounds yummy! I’ll have to give it a try! never heard of putting pudding mix in cookie dough! yum!

    As for the muffins, I’d have to say i ♥ chocolate! YUM!

    My favorite cookie is one that I put together myself. I use the oatmeal raisin cookie recipe on the lid of the Quaker Oats box, omitting the raisins and cinnamon and adding dried cranberries and vanilla chips making cranberry oatmeal vanilla chip cookies.
    And oatmeal is healthy, right? So I totally eat these for breakfast (and snacks throughout the day!).
