Two-Chip Chocolate Chippers
When baking this chocolate chip cookie recipe, I am a stickler for using one stick of butter and one stick of margarine—the combination of fats gives the cookies terrific texture. And do not use a scooper—the tool compacts the cookies too much. —Lee Ann Miller, Millersburg, Ohio

Great texture and flavor! Will make again!
I have been searching for a chewy chocolate chip cookies for quite awhile. This is the recipe I've been waiting for ! My comment is the recipe says you get 60 servings, but I made them the same size as any cookie I bake and only got 45 cookies. This is a keeper recipe.
Oh my God!!!! These were the best cookies. Texture was perfect. Took to work, they were devoured. I kept nuts out because of allergies. I don't know if it was the combination of butter and margarine or pudding mix. Probably all of the above. Will make again and again. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
So I have made these about 3 times now and each time they get better! I use the instant Jell-o vanilla pudding. I have found creaming the melted butter and sugars important. Then cream further with eggs and cream more with vanilla then I add the pudding and really get it good and mixed up. After all that beating and more is better! add the rest. The recipe calls for too many chips. I also am just using one kind. It is the batter that makes the cookie. I just did a cup of chips and a cup or so of coconut today. OH MY! YUMMY! Don't over cook! The cookies do not spread a lot so you can get a lot on one pan.
These are delicious as is, but have found the brand of pudding mix used makes a difference. I've found some brands DO make them taste strange, while another brand makes them delicious. For those who thought it was weird, give it another try!
I decided to try this recipe after hearing rave reviews about chocolate chip cookies made with pudding mix. Also I had the ingredients on hand for the most part. I didn't add nuts and I only used 1 3/4 cups of chocolate chips (because that's all I had). The cookies were good and there were plenty of chocolate chips. I like my classic chocolate chip recipe a lot (maybe a little better than these), but this recipe is a keeper.
I'm not crazy about chocolate chip cookies but I gave these a try and they were yummy. I used the basic recipe but instead of semisweet chips I used milk chocolate. I will definitely make these again.
These are now my go to cookies! I triple the recipe to the point of adding the pudding. I split the dough into 3 batches and add chocolate pudding to one, and vanilla pudding to the other 2 batches. I add a combination of different chips to each batch. Mint chips to half of the chocolate batch, and white chips to the other half of the chocolate batch(sometimes a handful of chocolate chips go in also). I then add M&M's and toasted pecans/walnuts, white chips and mini chocolate chips to the other batches in different combinations. I also mix chip types - some mini chocolate chips with some Giradelli 60% cocoa chips - YUM! These cookies stay soft and I'm always asked for the recipe. I also like to drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet and freeze, then store in freezer bags until your ready to bake. Very versatile cookie. I usually use 1/2 unsalted butter, half butter flavor Crisco, but use regular Crisco if I'm out of butter flavor, it doesn't matter they are always great.
Also have made these for years - I always use butterscotch inst. pudding, which seems to add more flavor without being "butterscotchy". Makes a good cookie!
Yes, the original recipe was in TOH magazine years ago, with the pudding mix. I have been making them for years. I also use half butter and half margarine, even though the original recipe did not specify that. I just use semi-sweet chips. On another note, you can substitute any flavor of pudding mix (chocolate, white chocolate, cheesecake), and chips. Try them with chocolate pudding mix and peanut butter chips.
