Serves: 30
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened (1½ sticks)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 (3.5 oz) packet instant vanilla pudding mix
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 (11.5 oz) bag (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
  1. Preheat 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
  2. To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment combine the butter, sugars, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 4 minutes.
  3. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, salt, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
  4. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the chocolate chunks, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop, roll into balls and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for about 10-11 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set. Even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the middle, don't overbake. Immediately slide parchment paper onto a wire cookie rack or the countertop and let cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
