Ingredients:
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) butterscotch instant pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare for a baking adventure that will fill your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cookies. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda, ensuring they are well combined. Set this aside as you work on the wet ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, packed light brown sugar, white sugar, butterscotch instant pudding mix, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is key to achieving the perfect texture in your cookies. Once the mixture is creamy, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. The combination of chocolate and nuts adds a delightful crunch and richness to every bite.
Using a teaspoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still be soft, giving you that perfect soft and chewy texture that makes these cookies so special.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. These Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re enjoying them with a glass of milk, sharing them with friends, or simply indulging in a sweet treat. Enjoy!
