Note
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
For softer cookies, do not overbake; remove them from the oven when the centers still look slightly underdone.
The instant vanilla pudding mix is key to achieving a tender, cake-like texture in these cookies.
You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
Dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking, or frozen for up to 3 months. Add 1-2 minutes to baking time if baking from frozen.
