My Aunt Melanie is the absolute best :) I have many fond memories of growing up sampling her cooking--she is incredibly talented and all of her food is made with love :) This is one of my favorite desserts she makes. Hope you like it, too!

Pudding Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup salted butter (softened)

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix (add the dry mix)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips , more to taste

3/4 cup white chocolate chips (could also substitute for dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream together the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Mix for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Add in vanilla and beat in one egg at a time.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Then slowly stir into the wet ingredients. Then stir in the chocolate chips.

Use a medium cookie dough scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. You want the center to look a little underdone. Let sit on pan for 2-5 minutes, and then remove to a cooling rack. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!
