Description

Most eggless cookies are dense and crumbly, but these are soft and moist thanks to the addition of instant pudding mix.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 (5 1/10 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets.
2 Combine butter, both sugars, pudding mix, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3 Whisk milk, vinegar, and baking powder together in a small bowl until frothy.
4 Add milk-vinegar mixture to the butter mixture and mix to combine. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips.
5 Use a cookie scoop to make perfect balls of dough. Drop balls onto the prepared cookie sheets and press them down a bit if your prefer a flatter cookie.
