Now the pudding doesn’t make these cookies have pudding texture or flavor but it does make them incredible soft and they tasty like a cookie you would get from the bakery. I also used vanilla paste to add to the vanilla flavor, you can use vanilla extract, I just wanted the vanilla flavor to shine through. I love the amount of white chocolate chips in this recipe and I wish I would have added some chopped Macadamia nuts to them but if you do, I wont get mad.

Some of the Tools I've Used

Step 1: Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (229 g)
¼ cup granulated sugar (48 g)
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (151 g)
1 box (3.4 oz) Vanilla instant pudding mix
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (7 g)
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (224 g)
1 teaspoon baking soda (4 g)
½ teaspoon salt (3 g)
2 cups white chocolate chip (reserve ¼ cup for topping) (360 g total 45 g reserved)

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl cream butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy.

Step 3: Add in Pudding Mix, Eggs and Vanilla Paste

Add in pudding mix, eggs and vanilla paste and mix until combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the edges and use the mixer to combined everything again.

Step 4: Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl add in flour, baking soda and salt and whisk to combined.

Step 5: Add the Dry to the Wet

Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine slowly. I started using that rubber spatula to combine the dry to the wet and then combined everything using a hand mixer, you can use a standing mixer.
