I love to make a lot of different desserts. But one thing that I get asked over and over again to make is my chocolate chip cookies.

I think the secret ingredient is what makes them so delicious. I add a small bag of pudding to the mix. I actually love to bake with pudding – it makes everything so moist. I always add it to my cakes and they never disappoint!

Sometimes I add random things to this recipe like M&Ms or peanut butter chips. The cookie recipe is so delicious and easy to put together!

 

Make sure you don’t overcook them. You want them to be soft. These cookies are still super soft 2 days later. (But most of the time they don’t last that long!)
