Tips For Making The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
- For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
- Always use butter, not margarine. ALWAYS. I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies. Try it!
- Do not ever grease your cookie sheets. Will make cookies spread and change texture.
- Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 2 minutes. Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
- Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
- Don’t overtake your cookies. Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days room temperature.

As she explained above, she made 1/2 recipe, Lisa.
Made these cookies and subbed chocolate pudding and cut 1/4 cp flour and replaced with cocoa…I used a combination of milk and white chocolate….so yummy!!!
Waiting to see your answer to #17 before I make a double batch!
Your video showed 1/2 the recipe but you used a full egg. I followed the recipe and they seemed dry/crumbly. Should I have used 1 more egg? Thanks
Hi! I just came to say that I tried your recipe yesterday and it was marvelous. The recipe turned out to be really easy to make and they tasted delicious. Thank you so much!
These look fabulous!!! I was wondering if you used regular chocolate chips or mini. In the picture/video the chips look small. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
Anyone about question about full recipe/pudding?
These look perfectly delicious!
If making the original full recipe, would I use the entire box of pudding mix? TIA!
I’m from Canada and we don’t have sticks of butter, so what is the measurement, 1/2 -3/4 or 1 cup. Thanks, plan on giving these a try.
1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup 🙂
These totally remind me of my childhood!
Love the sound of pudding in CCC’s!
I’m always up for perfect chocolate chip cookies like this!
I’ll take at least a dozen of these cookies! Yum!
These cookies do look perfect! I can’t wait to try them! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Thanks Deb!
I can vouch that adding instant pudding mix to cookie dough makes them extra special. Perfect every time. Your photo looks beautiful!
Thanks so much Denetta!
Beatiful cookie 🙂
These look great! When the snow has cleared I’m going to the store. Could you please tell me where you get your your instant vanilla pudding powder? Is it from a box of the pudding, or can it be found in bulk?
Hi Cheryl, it’s found in the baking isle, usually right by the cake mixes. It is from a box, not sure if you can get it in bulk unless you check on Amazon.
So interesting to use pudding mix! Have you tried chocolate pudding mix? So excited to try it!
These cookies live up to the name, perfect!! 🙂
