Vanilla / Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies




Everybody has their favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. Goodness, there are sure plenty of recipes to try til you find what is your personal favorite. These happen to be mine. They have a package of pudding added to the dough. What I like even better is the chocolate pudding added to make them double chocolate chip. Mmmm.

















Cream together:
1 c. butter/hard margarine
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1- 4 serving pkg of instant vanilla pudding (or chocolate...;-)!!
Sift together:
2 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Combine the ingredients, stir in about 1 c. chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes. They must just be turning a slight color and look slightly under baked if you like them to be soft and chewy.




They girls whipped up two batches, one vanilla and one chocolate, and they turned the chocolate into a cookie cake and decorated it into a volley ball.....clever girls, and it looks great!
In order to make it into a cookie cake, just put the dough into a greased pizza pan and bake it for about 20 minutes. Let it cool completely and decorate it according to the occasion. It makes a good alternative to a birthday cake for a kids party.

  11. Hi..Im a regular reader of your blog..your recepies are yummy.. I really like these cookies..can you please tell me a substitution for instant vanilla pudding package. Cos we cant find it this part of the world. (Doha Qatar)

  12. To anonymous in Doha Qatar:
    You might be able to substitute custard powder for the package of pudding. If it comes in a canister, use the amount that will make 2 cups of custard; that is how much a 4 serving box of pudding makes. Of course, you add the powder dry, do not make custard first.

  14. I just made these for the second time in a week. The first time, I made as written. This time, I used a mixture of white choc chips and mini choc chips with a chocolate pudding version. I hear they were so tasty- I never even got to try one! This is a great recipe to have on standby, and the dough tastes better than any other cookie dough I've tried...tsk tsk :)
