Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter at room temperature Leave them out for 15 minutes on your counter

  • 3/4 cup of brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup white sugar

  • (1) 3.4 oz package of vanilla  instant pudding mix

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cup flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Oven mitt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  2. Cream the butter and sugars until the sugar has completely incorporated  with the butter

  3. Add in the pudding mix, eggs and vanilla extract

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix only until combined

  5. Add chocolate chips and mix in the chocolate chips into the batter with a spatula or by hand

  6. Drop a spoonful of cookie dough onto a baking sheet and bake until slightly golden around 12 minutes.

  7. Be careful not to overcook these. If you’re making big ole cookies then you’ll need to adjust baking time. Keep your eyes on them because if they turn darker than golden you’re not going to get that chewy soft texture!

  8. Remove cookies and let cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack

  9.  ENJOY!
