Rich and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, the secret ingredient of instant vanilla pudding makes this the best chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Chocolate chip cookies are surely the most coveted sweet treat recipe that every mother hopes to pass down to her kids one day.

And there are no less than 8,523,451 million different chocolate chip cookie recipes to choose from.

What makes mine different?

The rich, moist combination of butter and instant vanilla pudding.

I don’t like dry baked goods, and this combo results in the softest sweetest treat. None of that dry, crispy, crumbly nonsense for this girl.

Only melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness that can be enjoyed right out of the oven or for an extra yummy dessert idea place a few warm chocolate chip cookies in a creamy dish of vanilla bean ice cream.

Another variation of this delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe is my mint chocolate pudding cookies. This cookie dough can be made in a variety of ways, but this one is a favorite!

For a seasonal variation add green and red M&M’s instead of chocolate chips like we did for our Christmas pudding cookies.

This recipe will make 36 delicious bite-sized cookies when using this cookie dough scoop!

Bon appetit!
