Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 (4 oz.) pkg. instant fudge chocolate pudding
  • 1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
  2. The batter will be stiff.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you prefer a nut-free cookie, simply omit the chopped nuts. Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. If the dough feels too stiff, you can add a tablespoon of milk to help loosen it up.

Serving Suggestions

These double chocolate chip cookies are delightful on their own but also pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They can be served alongside a fresh fruit salad or with sides like Frosty Orange for a refreshing contrast. For a fun dessert platter, mix these cookies with Lemon Bread (A Tea Bread) or Miss American Pie.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave for a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of chocolate for this recipe?

Yes, you can use a combination of milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips for varied sweetness and depth of flavor. You may also experiment with white chocolate chips for a different twist.

What can I do if my dough is too sticky?

If your dough is sticky, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help it firm up, making it easier to handle and shape into cookie dough balls before baking.

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Absolutely! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to choose a blend that contains xanthan gum to help with the structure and texture of the cookies.
