Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour with baking soda in a bowl.
- Combine softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and pudding mix in a large mixer bowl; beat until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.

- Drop by teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra chewy texture, try chilling the dough for an hour before baking. If you don't have instant vanilla pudding, you can substitute with an equal amount of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor of the chocolate chips. Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Serving Suggestions
These chocolate chip cookies are perfect as a standalone treat but can be enhanced with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also pair beautifully with warm Sue Bee Brownies (Honey Blonde Brownies) for a delightful dessert platter. Serve them at gatherings or as a sweet snack during movie nights.
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-safe bag. To reheat, warm them in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine as a substitute for butter, but it may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the cookies. Make sure to use a stick margarine for the best results, and ensure it is softened just like the butter would be.
What can I replace the nuts with if I have allergies?
If you have nut allergies, you can simply omit the nuts from the recipe without compromising the cookie's overall flavor. Alternatively, you can add seeds such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
How can I make these cookies less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness of the cookies, you can decrease the amount of brown sugar by 1/4 cup and use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. Additionally, adding a bit of sea salt can help balance the sweetness.
