Notes
Helpful tips
- You want the butter to be at room temperature so take out the butter at least an hour before you start on the cookies.
- I put the butter in the stand mixer bowl and cut it into pads to soften quicker.
- I use the double chocolate pudding mix, but you can use the regular chocolate pudding mix.
- You can either use pudding mix that you cook or instant. I use the cook-and-serve version because it tastes more vibrant than instant.
- I prefer dark chocolate chips in these cookies, but I've also made them with white chocolate chips. Another good choice is milk chocolate chips. You choose.
- I use granulated sugar, but you could use brown sugar if you prefer.
- Use a medium cookie scoop. It makes for airy-soft cookies.
- The baked cookies should be slightly browned on the edges and a little soft to the touch.
- If you don't own cookie scoops, you can just add tablespoonfuls of cookie dough to the baking sheets.
