How to Make Always Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
