Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding (5.1 oz)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup raspberries, diced
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a light texture for the cookies.
- Add Instant Pudding Mix: Incorporate the vanilla pudding mix into the creamed butter and sugars, blending thoroughly to add moisture and flavor depth.
- Mix in Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing well until fully combined for a consistent dough base.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the all-purpose flour and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and maintain tenderness.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Raspberries: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and diced raspberries, being careful not to crush the berries and to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion the Dough: Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto a prepared cookie sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the cookie sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are just set.
- Cool: Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Handle raspberries gently to prevent them from breaking apart in the dough.
- Use room temperature butter for better incorporation when creaming the sugars.
- For a stronger vanilla flavor, consider using pure vanilla extract.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Freezing the dough balls before baking can help minimize spreading if desired.
