Stay Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies #cookies

Is any food item as universally-appreciated as a thick, chewy chocolate chip cookie? If so, I have yet to come across it. Just the smell of these wafting from the oven is enough to make you feel cozy and cared for. There’s a reason realtors often put plates of cookies out during an open house – it instantly makes the house feel more like a home.

This recipe is not new to the blog; in fact it’s one of the very first posts that I shared – even before the blog focused on food. But since then I’ve simplified the recipe even more and dramatically improved my photography skills. (Which is not to say that these photos are all that. Rather, it’s to say that my photos used to be far worse. Ha!) So I thought these beauties deserved a new and improved post of their own.

I mean, just look at that dough. I have to hold myself back from eating it all with a spoon.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks, 227 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup (160 grams) brown sugar, light or dark, tightly packed
• 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C).
2. Using a stand or hand mixer, or by hand with a rubber spatula, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until well-blended. Beat in the instant pudding mix, followed by the eggs and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat until mixture is mostly even.
3. Sprinkle the flour and baking soda over the dough, then mix just until they are incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
