Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy, and packed with gooey chocolate chips, these classic cookies are a family favorite. Perfectly golden edges and tender centers make them an irresistible treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 (3.5 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Scoop dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, forming balls about 2 tablespoons each. Place them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers appear slightly underbaked. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm for gooey centers, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
For extra texture, try adding 1/2 cup chopped nuts or replacing half the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. Freeze dough balls for future use—bake straight from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes to the baking time.
