PUDDING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

When you want soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, you need to try these Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are super easy and fun to make and always a hit with my family.

I wanted to include the pudding version for two reasons: I was really curious to see how adding pudding to cookie dough affects the texture of the cookies; I have been noticing more and more recipes for pudding cookies. Which means there are a lot of flavor possibilities out there. Pistachio pudding cookies anyone?Easy to make and oh-so-good! No refrigeration of the dough needed. Let the kids make them! Just like I did with my Funfetti Pudding Cookies.

Why should I add pudding mix to my cookie dough?

The addition of pudding makes the cookies have more pronounced vanilla flavor (especially if you use the French Vanilla pudding mix). It makes them soft and thick. We liked it. Especially our kids. It also makes the cookies thicker and softer.

    I've never tried pudding in a cookie. You're right - the flavor possibilities are endless! You could come up with some really fun, unique combinations. I loved your CCC Monday series. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

    I've been so curious about pudding cookies too! I've seen a couple varieties and it totally confuses me, I don't understand the pudding bakes up?? Definitely need to give a try then, I love softer cookies and the extra vanilla sounds delicious! Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend!
