Description

These not-too-sweet cookies have a double dose of vanilla with a pack of pudding mix and two tablespoons of vanilla extract.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 jumbo egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Whisk both amounts of flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, and pudding mix in another bowl with an electric mixer until blended; beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until combined. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
3 Roll the dough into 2-inch balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
4 Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
