What You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make chocolate chip cookies with pudding! See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.

  • Butter– I use salted butter for my recipes. Unsalted works fine too.
  • Granulated Sugar– This fine white sugar gives the cookies their sweetness.
  • Brown Sugar– I use light brown sugar for these cookies.
  • Eggs– For consistency, I use large eggs for my recipes.
  • Vanilla– Use pure vanilla extract for best tasting results.
  • All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient for the cookies.
  • Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix– Instant pudding adds a chewy texture to the cookies.
  • Salt– I use kosher salt in the recipe.
  • Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the cookies rise during baking.
  • Chocolate Chunks– You can cut your own chocolate into chunks or look for chocolate chunks in the chocolate chip section.
  • Butterscotch Chips– Butterscotch chips are located near the other chocolate chips in the baking isle of the grocery store.

Tips For Making The Best Cookies

  1. Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
  2. For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
  3. Always use butter, not margarine.  ALWAYS.  I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies.  Try it!
  4. Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
  5. Don’t overtake your cookies.  Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
  6. Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness

    These cookies are the best! The first time we made them with semi-sweet mini chips instead of the butterscotch. So good. We’ve made them several times, and our current batch is the best: we used chocolate pudding, semi-sweet mini chips instead of the butterscotch – and English Toffee bits (I used Heath). Each version we make is – well, we think it’s the best cookie ever! And the cookie dough is to die for! I love all your recipes, Jenny!

    So I’ve decided that pudding mix is the secret to all of the best baked goods!!! I must try this – you know how much I love any cookie you make!

  5. Erin@WellPlated

    I am a soft cookie lover to the core (while my husband prefers crispy) so that means I’m keeping a batch of these butterscotch beauties all to myself! 🙂

  6. Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg

    I’ve never used pudding in cookies although I’ve seen recipes which call for it. These cookies look absolutely delicious. I need to try them asap.
