How to Make Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!
- Set your oven to 350°F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add butter and granulated sugar, creaming the two ingredients until they become fluffy.
- Add your eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Grab a separate bowl and begin whisking your flour with the pudding mix and baking powder before combining these dry ingredients with the wet ones.
- Mix well before folding the chocolate chunks into the batter.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough on your baking sheet, and put the baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake the dough for up to 10 minutes.
The pudding mix adds flavor to the Chocolate Chunk Cookies and leaves them with an even softer texture. If you want your cookies to taste great and melt in your mouth, don’t forget to add the pudding mix.
Use any brand of chocolate chunks to ensure that your cookies are full of that chocolatey goodness that you want to have. If you can’t find chocolate chunks, you can cut pieces of chocolate into chunks yourself.
You sure can! While this recipe relies on the flavorful addition of pudding mix, you can also substitute half of the granulated sugar for brown sugar for an even richer taste!
There’s no need to chill these cookies before baking. The pudding mix gives them a lot of extra structure. If your kitchen is particularly hot or your first batch seems to be spreading too much, you can chill these cookies for about 10 minutes before baking.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Store your cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- Once you’ve prepared the cookie dough, be sure to bake the cookies. It’s not the kind of dough that you’re going to want to save for later.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your cookies, such as sprinkles or peanut butter morsels to go with the chocolate.
Bake these homemade Chocolate Chunk Cookies to have an impressive dessert ready to eat. Your family will love them! You can make them to enjoy after dinner or for some special occasions, such as your next birthday party.
