Best Chocolate Chip Cookies You'll EVER Eat.

I've been making these cookies for about 20 years, and I am here to tell you they are The. Best.

First the recipe, then a few tips.









2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 box (3.5 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 c flour
1 tsp bkg soda
1 tsp salt
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream the softened butter with the sugars, pudding mix, and vanilla.
Add the eggs and mix well.

In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the flour, salt, and soda.
Gradually mix into the butter/sugar mixture and beat well.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 for 9 - 10 minutes, or till lightly browned.

Makes about 4 dozen with a little left over dough for shamelssly stuffing in your face.
Raw cookie dough, schmaw schmookie dough, that's what I say.





So, tips...

1) Set the butter out several hours ahead to soften. But if alls-a-sudden you get the hankerin' for these babies and just can't wait, I'll not judge. Just put the butter in the microwave, and set on the defrost setting. That will soften the butter instead of just melting it, and you'll thank me.

2) Cream the butter and sugars really well, till it's light and fluffy.

3) The chocolate chips? Don't skimp. Use the good stuff. No generic chips in this recipe!

4) Do you have a cookie dough baller? No? Get one! I never had one growing up. Never even knew they existed! But now I have one. Magical things. If you don't have one, treat yourself.









5) Best to take the cookies out when they still look a little underdone, b/c they'll bake a bit more on the cookie sheets once out.

6) Prepare yourself for making these.  A. Lot.  Because everyone is going to ask you to make them for the rest of your life.

  2. I love that scoop I have the same one. Use it for my drop biscuits too. I just adore that pic of your son in your header. He is adorable. He would hate that I said that but he is.

  5. Well, here is a cookie update...IF you don't have vanilla pudding the butterscotch was un-be-lieveable, and it is my guess that chocolate pudding would be fan-tas-tic, especially with peanut butter chips, so I will attest that this is indeed a recipe worthy of the title BEST according to my tasters. Thanks again Anne:-)

  10. These look delicious. Thanks for sharing your tips. Something I do to CCC (chocolate chip cookies) is sprinkle the tops with salt just as you take them out. It gives a salty-sweetness to the cookies and a little extra crunch on top. My family won't have CCC any other way. :)

    Stopping by from the Friday Chaos blog hop.

  13. Rooster, thanks for the tip about the different flavored puddings and chips! I've always thought of changing them up, but when it came down to it, I always just went the traditionals.
    Thanks for all the great comments, everyone! Hope you all get a chance to make these!

    Blessings,
