🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vanilla pudding mix (dry)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Topping

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°F.
2Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
3In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed.
4Mix until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5Add the dry vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, and salt to the butter mixture.
6Mix well until combined.
7Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
8Stir in the vanilla extract.
9Gradually add the flour to the mixture, mixing just until combined.
10Fold in the chocolate chips.
11Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
12Space the cookies about 2 inches apart.
13In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and flour for the topping.
14Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the cookie dough.
15Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
16The centers may still look soft, but that is okay as they will firm up as they cool.
17Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
