Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix (dry mix only)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  • Add in the pudding mix and mix until combined.

  • Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

  • Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.

  • Scoop dough into rounded tablespoon-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  • Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but centers still look soft.

 

  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool.

  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for later.
