Materials

For the Cookies:

  • 2 ¼ cups 280g bread flour
  • 1 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp sea salt

For the Wet Mix:

  • 1 cup 226g unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup 150g brown sugar
  • ½ cup 100g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-Ins & Toppings:

  • 1 ½ cups 255g chocolate chunks
  • Extra chocolate chunks for pressing on top

Instructions

  • Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together bread flour, pudding mix, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream Butter & Sugars: Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 3–4 minutes until light/fluffy.
  • Add Eggs & Vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Don’t overmix.
  • Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing just until combined.
  • Fold in Chocolate: Gently stir in chocolate chunks (reserve ¼ cup for topping).
  • Chill Dough: Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 72 hours).
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Scoop 3-tbsp dough balls onto parchment-lined sheets. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
  • Add Toppings: Press reserved chocolate chunks onto hot cookies. Cool 15 minutes on the sheet.
  • Pro Tip: Bang the pan at the 8-minute mark for perfect thickness!

Notes

  • Storage: Freeze unbaked dough balls for 3 months. Baked cookies keep 3 days airtight.
  • Substitutions: No pudding mix? Use 2 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp milk powder.
  • Key Tools: #16 cookie scoop, stand mixer, and parchment paper.
