So all my life, I’ve made flat but tastey chocolate chip cookies…and I always wondered how women got their cookies to be fluffy and soft and chewy…and now I know! I made Janelle’s recipe this week and they came out gorgeous! She used an ingredient in her cookies I’ve never tried before – check it out!

On my list of favorite things to eat, ever…. stands the good ole fashioned chocolate chip cookie. Who can resist these hot, buttery, gooey, chocolatey little dollops of goodness?! The only thing is…many of us don’t know how to make them just so! In fact, it took me years to figure out exactly what to do to make them crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, dense, buttery and fluffy!
Some of my failed attempts had my cookies flat..burnt..too gooey…not buttery enough..and the list goes on. Learn from my mistakes and begin your cookie making journey with a winning recipe you will make over and over again!!!!

| Mix together 1 cup butter (2 refrigerated sticks put in the microwave for 20 seconds) , 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 box of vanilla instant pudding dry mix |
 |
| Mix these ingredients well with a hand held mixer |
 |
| Add 2 eggs (I was doubling this recipe that is why you see more than 2 eggs) |
 |
| In a separate bowl combine 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt. By combining these dry ingredients, it will help distribute them evenly in the cookie dough. Add them to the wet ingredients. Then add 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips. You may also add nuts if you desire! |
 |
| After the dough is made, place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour…this is an important step! Then, scoop in heaping Tbsps onto un-greased cookie sheet and bake in a 375 oven for 10-12 mins or until golden. |
 |
| After the cookies are taken out of the oven, keep them on the cookie sheet for about 2 mins..they will continue to cook and will keep their shape better this way. |
 |
| This guy is ready to be “spatulaed” onto a wire cooling rack. |

Let cool on wire rack…grab some milk and a smile and enjoy your perfect chocolate chip cookie! Congratulations, you have made some happy campers!

YUM! Pinning this! I’m always looking for a “better” cookie recipe. What better excuse to bake cookies than a new recipe.
Thanks for sharing. I love having my kids help with cookies.
This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and I get rave reviews every time I make them.
This is my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe! It is no fail and SO delicious!! My family always requests it and between my daughter and the other 7 nieces/nephews in our family; they are hard to keep around.
For a yummy change, use french vanilla pudding mix instead of just regular vanilla. It is so good!!
I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that has app,e sauce and milk added as ingredients and they end up being the most fluffy things. I love fluffy cookies. Thanks for sharing
I would love this recipe. WE do not eat gmo, processed and packaged foods. Do not trust them, so I would really love this recipe!
I would love your recipe as well.
Me three!
Courtney, I use pudding in everything. All my cookies, cakes, sweet breads get a box of vanilla, french vanilla, or banana for banana breads and so on. Makes them so soft and super moist. A trick my mommy taught me.
And I’m just learning this trick at age 37 – where have I been? Lol!!! Better late than never!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Courtney
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe it….I have been making this recipe for 20 years. People love my choco chip cookies. The men that my husband works with always ask me to bake them. lol.
I guess my secret is out.
Is the box of pudding mix the small or large size?
Small box. My fam loves these!
Looks yum! Love the pudding trick. Add a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee to these, and it may just take them up that one more notch.
I made these after finding them on Janelle’s site. My parents-in-love LOVED these cookies! In fact I’m making them a batch for mothers day!
This recipe has been in my family for ages…. Wondering how Janelle came across it….
Since it is snowing, my kids and I are going to try this recipe. thanks for sharing
We use the same recipe. We live at 7500 ft and this is the only recipe that works. It has to be the pudding. I also put pudding in my cakes too.
I got this recipe years ago from an amish cookbook. I haven’t made this type lately. I should! Another tip from the amish is to make a double batch, but use chocolate pudding in one and vanilla pudding in the other. Then take some of each to make a half and half chocolate chip cookie. I always wanted to try it, but haven’t.
Yum yum Courtney! I had to write although I am a little little late on the Wednesday link up to tell you that YOU are the first woman I ever (and only one so far) followed! I only followed one other till now, & he is a young godly man & pastor. Christ shines from your blog, and I just love it. Plus, I learn something from you nearly every time I “hop” over to your blog. Your page shines Christ so much, I need my sunglasses as my son would say! God’s embassy in your home is so apparent:-) Can’t wait to promote and GET your book!
Hey Juana! I recognize you! You used to go to Providence Baptist – where I still go! Small world! My husband and I used to be in Leon’s class.
My son and I just made these! Excited to try them!
I’ve also made pumpkin bread with vanilla pudding mix in it- it’s super moist and delicious!
This is not the day for me to look at a recipe for cookies. However the tutorial is so good. I will probably be trying this recipe.
Blessings!
The kiddos were home for a snow day so my 2 daughters helped me in the kitchen bake these today. My 8 year old daughter loved following the pictures and the recipe all by herself. I only supervised. They are the FIRST soft cookies we have EVER baked! Mine always seem to go flat. They are absolutely delicious. I love your posts. I just started following you this month and have already learned so much from you. Thank you for serving others in Christ. You are a blessing!
My mouth waters!!! Chocolate chip is my favorite classic and always good!
Blessings,
Leslie
I am one of the few people in America that does not like chocolate chip cookies…never have. But my husband loves them, so I am anxious to try this recipe. I have tried many, many recipes for chocolate chip coolies up to this point, and have never found a recipe that turns out the way I think it should. I hope this one does!
I would love a fluffy oatmeal cookie recipe. Please, please
I have the dough chilling in my fridge right now! Can’t wait to try them.
As one who serves on our church’s Hospitality Ministry I am always looking for new inspiration to bless our members and guests with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart in posting these Courtney and Janelle for sharing this fantastic recipe. I tweaked the brown sugar back about a 1/4 cup less and put in Kelly Green paste food coloring for St. Patrick’s Day. I must say these beauties were gobbled up in minutes. Everyone LOVED them and wanted the recipe. God Bless all that God is doing in each of your lives and the willingness and open hearts to share all this with us women.
So I was waiting til spring break to try out this recipe. I must say they are quite chewy and yummy!! Thanks for sharing!!
