How to Make Julie's Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 (3.4 ounce) package of instant chocolate pudding mix. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking soda, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your favorite combination of chips and mix-ins!).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
