Tool Requirements

To make chocolate chip pudding cookies, you will need a few key tools.

First, get a large mixing bowl. This will help you combine all your ingredients easily.

Next, have a measuring cup for liquid ingredients. It’s also useful to have measuring spoons for dry ingredients.

You will need a whisk or fork to mix everything together. A rubber spatula helps to scrape the sides of the bowl and ensures nothing goes to waste.

For baking, grab a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes clean-up easier.

Your oven should be preheated to the right temperature. An oven thermometer is a handy tool to make sure it’s accurate.

Lastly, consider a cooling rack. This allows the cookies to cool down evenly after baking.

Having these tools handy will make your baking experience smoother and more enjoyable. You’re now ready to get started!

Preparing The Ingredients

To make these chocolate chip pudding cookies, you need a few key ingredients. Start with all-purpose flour. Measure about 1 ½ cups for the right texture.

Next, grab some chocolate pudding mix. You’ll use 1 small box. This is what gives the cookies their chewy texture.

You’ll also need baking soda and a pinch of salt. Use ½ teaspoon of baking soda and ¼ teaspoon of salt to balance the sweetness.

For sweetness, get brown sugar. You’ll need ¾ cup. This helps create a soft and moist cookie.

You will need plant-based butter. About ½ cup should work well. Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing.

Don’t forget about sugar too! Use ¼ cup of granulated sugar along with the brown sugar for added sweetness.

Finally, grab vanilla extract. A teaspoon adds great flavor to the mix.

Make sure to check your kitchen for chocolate chips. About 1 cup should do, depending on your chocolate preference.

Once you have everything measured out, you’re set to start mixing. Having your ingredients prepped will make baking smoother and more enjoyable.

Variations To Try

Want to switch things up? There are many fun variations for chocolate chip pudding cookies. Here are some ideas to get you started.

• Try adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for some crunch. Just chop them up and mix them in with the dough.
• For a sweeter touch, throw in coconut flakes. You can use sweetened or unsweetened, depending on your taste.
• How about some peanut butter or almond butter? Swirl it into the dough for a rich flavor. It pairs well with chocolate.
• You can also add different chips. Use white, dark, or even butterscotch chips for a new twist. Mixing them in can create unique flavor combinations.
• Feeling fruity? Toss in some dried fruit like cranberries or raisins. It adds a chewy texture and extra sweetness.
• To make them a bit more festive, sprinkle in spices. Cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm touch that’s great for chilly days.
• Lastly, you can play with the extracts you use. Swap vanilla for almond or peppermint extract for a refreshing change.

Storage Tips

• To keep your chocolate chip pudding cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps to maintain their soft texture and prevents them from drying out.
• You can keep the cookies at room temperature for about 3 to 5 days. If you want them to last longer, consider refrigerating them. They can stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week.
• For even longer storage, you can freeze the cookies. Wrap each cookie in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat them, just let them thaw at room temperature.
• If you’ve made the dough in advance, you can also freeze it. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer the balls to a bag. This way, you can bake fresh cookies whenever you want.
