This is the only treat my hubby ever asks me to make. I think he ♥'s these cookies more than me. But I dont blame him. They are soft, chocolatey, vanilla-ee, deliciousness. My SIL Christine gave me this recipe about 5 years ago, and since then it's the only chocolate chip cookie recipe I have made. One of the tricks to these cookies is the baking time. You should ONLY bake them for 9-10 minutes, tops. They will seem like their not fully cooked, but they are. Trust me. Once you take them out of the oven, just leave them alone. No need to transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them just sit on the baking sheet to relax, and they'll be ready to pop in your mouth in about five to ten minutes. Grab a big glass of milk, and take a bite of that warm cookie. It will melt in your mouth!

Pudding cookies really are awesome. My family devours them ridiculously fast.
Yum! I have a very similar recipe for chocolate chip cookies on my blog that uses pudding. It really does make the cookies extra soft and delicious.

Yum! I keep seeing these pudding chocolate chip cookies. I will have to give them a try sometime!
I've never tried this kind of chocolate chip cookie recipe... it looks great! Your cookies look nice and chewy!
Mmmmm I want one right now!!! These looks so moist!
Pudding cookies are a favorite in our house. Sometimes we make them with chopped up candy bars as well as chocolate chips.
What a cool idea! They look moist and chewey! Can't wait to try these.
Your cookies looks delightful! This would be a hit with the kids! Thanks for sharing!
They look so chocolatey and I am sure that my husband would love those too.
Oh, I'm so glad you posted these! A dear friend from college says these are her trademark cookie and I've been dying to try them! YUM!
It is amazing what pudding does to a cookie recipe. Yum. Your cookies look fantastic. Come over and visit us today. We have a wonderful sorbet recipe. Perfect for the hot weather.
My mom used to have a pudding cookie recipe that I loved but I don't know where it went. I think this is the one! Thank you for sharing it!
These cookies are so good! My family loved them:) We love your blog and we look forward to seeing your posts.. Thank you!!
These sound Delicious Holl!!!! i think I actually have a box of vanilla pudding on hand right now that I just might whip me up a batch of these tomorrow!
OMG, must try! They looks so soft and chewy!
I truly need to make these. My glass of milk is ready.
Mmm what a great idea!! I love when cookies don't appear to be baked all the way, but are. Soft cookies are the best!

It doesn't matter how many fancy cookies I make, pudding cookies tempt me like no other. We LOVE them too.
Obviously, they tempt me, since I just realized I already commented on this post. Oops! I saw the pic and couldn't resist them again. Feel free to delete these extra comments or leave them to laugh at my chocolate addiction. Have a GREAT day!
they look picture perfect :) bookmarking this now. I'm so glad to see that you linked up this week! Thank you so much for sharing this at Recipe Sharing Monday. I hope to see you back next week!
These look really yummy! Can't wait to try...visiting from Sugarfootmomma.com..saw this recipe at Jam Hands :)
I love your your recipes. You cook the way I like to eat. I have seen your recipes on tasty kitchen as well. I'm getting ready to make your mac & cheese recipe.
I have to try these!! I have never thought to put pudding in cookies before. These cookies look exactly like I want them to taste.
The first time I tried these cookies, I didn't have vanilla pudding or choc. chips..but I did have butterscotch pudding and butterscotch chips so I used both of those and then crushed up a couple of Hersheys choc. bars and they were wonderful!! Then I bought the real ingredients and tried them yesterday. These cookies are wonderful!! Both times they have turned out so soft and just melt in your mouth! Thank you so much, I will never use another choc. chip cookie recipe again!! :-)
These tasted amazing! Thanks for posting this. They are so moist and lightly chewy. It going to be a part of my Xmas cookie boxes!
These cookies were not good. They don't look like the picture AT ALL. I followed the recipe exactly. They are sponge like and regular chocolate chip cookies are much better.
Do you think that the non-instant variety would work well with this recipe? I have a couple boxes of those (the kind that need to boiled on the stove for a little bit) and this recipe sounds awesome!
Thank you!
Has anyone tried freezing these yet?
Made these for Christmas Goody Giving this year and will make them every year from now on. They were so yummy and delicious...I should've kept more for myself :)
Shared the recipe on my blog today!

I made these yesterday and they are almost gone already. Thanks for sharing they are awesome cookies
Would using chocolate pudding instead of vanilla change them (as in ruin the flavor since there wouldn't be the "vanilla" flavor)?
Cindy, you asked about freezing these...I have a very similar recipe that I found years ago on allrecipes.com. I make these both in cookie and bar form. They freeze very well. Most cookie doughs can be stored (frozen) for 3 months. At that point you bake them, they can be stored an additional 3 months.The exception is for meringue and macaroon cookies, which it is not advised for.
These are SO GOOD.
LOVE these cookies!!
I love chocolat and cookies, I have moved 6 months ago to a buenos aires apartments, then I had to learn to cook. First thing I learned: chocolat cookies, I cannot make a salad, but I know like 10 varieties of cookies with chocolat already haha
I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies flattened out! Exactly what attracted me to your cookies because I really hoped for fluffy cookies. I also had to cook mine longer than 10 min because mine looked REALLY raw. No golden brown at all! What did I do wrong? The taste is awesome and they'll be gone before the night is over...I have 4 kids!! I really hoped for thicker cookies though.
Momma J- Make sure your baking soda is not old/expired. Also, make sure your butter is room temperature softened....not melted, or it will flatten the cookies.
Other than that, they should come out perfect. I make them once a week lately. I have 4 kids also!
I've been making these for years and have many, many fans of them, especially the hubby and son. I like to add a big spoon of peanut butter. I've also tried different flavors of instant pudding and chips, a favorite combo being chocolate pudding with peanut butter chips. Everyone who tastes them wants the recipe!
