How to Make Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
