I’m not gonna lie. We’re big fans of homemade cookies around here, especially your basic chocolate chip cookie. Our go-to recipe has always been the Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies on Allrecipes.com. But last night I wanted to try something new, so we found another highly rated chocolate chip cookie recipe on the site: Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. Madison and Lauren whipped up a batch and they were delicious! I’m definitely going to keep the recipe on hand as a nice alternative to the pudding mix version.
Oh, and these freeze fabulously too. I froze the leftovers and taste-tested one just for you!

I’ve always been a fan of pudding cookies. So soft!

Me too! These were a good alternative if you’d like variety in your cookie diet. :)

How do these do at altitude? With my usual recipe, I usually have to add a ton of extra flour so they don’t turn out completely flat.
Emily
We made them last night (in Utah) and didn’t make any changes. They didn’t flatten out like some other recipes. Perhaps dissolving the baking soda in warm water helps? The Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies always seem to turn out light and fluffy.

Good to know. Cookies in Utah can be a tricky thing…
