Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookies

Updated on June 22, 2015

The Story of These Cookies

Years ago when one of my nephews was graduating from high school, my daughter and I wanted to bake some cookies for his party. I made some Italian cookies and my daughter made these cookies. He practically ate them all himself so we named them Joey's Cookies. But for the sake of a better Hub title, I am calling them Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookies.

There is an ingredient that I haven't seen in any other chocolate chip cookie recipe that I think makes these a little bit better. It's a box of vanilla instant pudding mix.

The recipe says to mix the butter and sugar with your electric mixer but I found that if you let the butter get really soft then you can just mix it with a large wire whisk. I made them one night in no time at all doing them this way.

One of my granddaughters graduated from high school this year and of course, grandma, me of course, had to make a tray of cookies and these were among them. I hope you enjoy them as much as the people at the party did.

One More Tip

I have discovered that after I made the batter instead of baking them, I put the batter in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before I put them on the cookie sheets. I did this out of necessity because I couldn't bake them right away and had to wait. I didn't want to leave them out so I refrigerated the batter and they came out even fluffier then usual.

This is the way I like cookies, especially chocolate chip cookies to be. I don't like them to be flattened out. I like to bite into a cookie that is soft but has substance to it.
