These chocolate chip pudding cookies are soft and thick with a very slight crisp on the outside. They’re thick and very chocolatey, and will be your new favorite cookie!

I’m a big fan of unique cookie recipes! We’ve tried so many fun ones here beyond regular chocolate chip.

Recipes like cotton candy cookies, apple pie cookies, Nutella stuffed, apricot cookies, butterscotch popcorn, and even bacon chocolate chip.

It’s really easy to make cookies and not too much of an effort to experiment with a new flavor. In the past, I’ve made some chocolate pudding cookies – though it was a long time ago.

While they may not be the craziest cookie ever, I was excited to try something that was new to me: vanilla pudding in cookies.

SO . . . I’m happy to share this chocolate chip pudding cookies recipe!

What is the benefit of making chocolate chip cookies using pudding? They’re softer and more moist than regular chocolate chip cookies.

It’s hard to explain, but they’re more delicious too. You’re going to use pudding mix (not already made pudding) and the results – I promise you that you’ve never had a cookie like this before!

SO – I guess it is unique.

Equipment

1 Mixer
1 Baking sheet

Ingredients

1 cup butter softened to room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix 1 box
2 eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups milk chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until light and creamy, at least 3 minutes.
Cream in the pudding mix, and then stir in the eggs and vanilla. Beat on high for 2-3 minutes more.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips into the batter with a spatula, until fully combined.
Scoop out about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place on the cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Press down the remaining chocolate chips on top of the cookies.
Bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to set and cool.
