Let’s Bake Some Cookies!

These chocolate pudding cookies are simple and easy to prepare and come together in less than 20 minutes total.  They are a quick treat that you will love, because from start to finish they are super easy and no fuss!

1. Cream the butter and sugar, then add the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the pudding mix and mix until combined.
2. Beat in eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
3. Dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and flour. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined.
4. Scoop and Bake: Scoop the dough using a smaller scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons), roll them in your hands to make them uniform, and place them onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers of the cookies have turned from shiny to matte. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
