These are hands down the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made//eaten!!! Yeah, I know that’s a big claim but I am dead serious. We had a friend over on Sunday who was craving some cookie dough so I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies. I found this recipe & saw it had a secret ingredient that supposedly made the cookies super chewy & delicious. Who doesn’t like super chewy cookies? Well, let me tell you, they are the softest//most chewy cookies I have ever eaten. In fact, they were so good that I made them again last night! (In case you didn’t know, I usually don’t do that.) So, are you curious what that secret ingredient is? I thought you might be 🙂 It’s just instant vanilla pudding!! So simple right? Whoever thought of that was a genius. A literal genius. Thanks to these cookies, I realized how much I miss baking & so don’t be surprised if you start seeing a few more recipes on here. I promise I will only post them if they are as amazing as these chocolate chip cookies though. Pinky promise 🙂
