These are, hands down, my new go-to cookie. They even work with cook n’ serve vanilla pudding (oops, bought the wrong kind!). My favorite twist is to use M&Ms instead of chocolate chips. Mmmmm.

YES! This is the chocolate chip cookie recipe I have been searching for all these years, what a great trick! I have forever been plagued by my cookies coming out too thin, but this will be my go to recipe from now on, thank you!

My husband, who is not a huge cookie fan…became a HUGE fan of these cookies. They were soooo good, and oh’ so easy.

These are the best chocolate chip cookies and the only ones I ever make anymore I probably make 2-3 batches of these every week…

The recipe I use is exactly the same as above and was from hubbie’s Grandmother – They’re perfect!

Try them… soon :)

I didn’t have any vanilla pudding on hand so I used the only pudding mix I had which was chocolate fudge. They were delicious, I added some pecans and didn’t put quite so many chocolate chips. Really good!!

Excellent! They almost tasted store-bought, but better!

Yum….I love the texture of these. I hope they stay just as soft and chewy as they are the first day.
