Introduction

I made these cookies for a party and they went over really well. They’re simple to make, and the result is delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3 tablespoons butter, melted

2 cups white sugar

1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed into a measuring cup or small bowl. You can find this in the junk drawer at your local grocery store. If there’s any left over from making cookies with chocolate chips, use it! It tastes amazing when mixed with butter and sugar!

““Section: 2 cups all-purpose flour

All-purpose flour is a blend of hard and soft wheat. The higher protein content in the hard wheat gives your cookies more elasticity, while the softer wheat makes them less tender.

1 teaspoon baking soda

Baking soda is a leavening agent, which means it helps the batter rise by releasing carbon dioxide when mixed with an acid. As we’ve seen in our baking powder experiments, baking soda reacts with acids like vinegar or lemon juice to release carbon dioxide. This causes baked goods to rise up as they cook.

Baking soda can be used as a substitute for baking powder in some recipes (like this one), but it doesn’t have quite the same effect on a batter like sour cream does!

1 cup butter, softened

Butter is a great way to add moisture and richness, so it’s worth making sure you use the right kind. The easiest way to soften butter is by placing it in the microwave for 30 seconds on high power. You can also do this by cutting it into small pieces and letting them sit on your countertop for a few minutes before using them—but don’t overdo this! If you’ve let your butter sit too long, it will be too soft when you slice into it with a knife or fork (and if that happens, just return the cut-up bits back into their original container).

3/4 cup white sugar

1 cup white sugar = 4 ounces

• 1 cup of white sugar is equal to 4 ounces.
• A cup of white sugar measures 8 tablespoons, which is a little more than 2/3 of an ounce.
• For example, if you want to make one cookie with half a cup (1/4 pound) of flour and 1 tablespoon baking powder plus another teaspoon for each egg yolk used in the recipe, then you’ll need 5 tablespoons total—4 tablespoons for each egg yolk plus 1 tablespoon for each teaspoon baking powder.

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Brown sugar is a type of sugar that has molasses added to it. It’s used in baking and other foods, such as cookies and cakes. Brown sugar has a stronger flavor than white granulated sugar because it contains more molasses (a type of syrup).

1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

Vanilla pudding is a dessert that’s easy to make and can be served in so many different ways. All you need are some Oreos, chocolate chips, and vanilla pudding mix.

• Place Oreos in a large bowl.
• Add 1/3 cup of melted butter or shortening to the Oreos and stir well until they’re evenly coated with the melted butter or shortening (you may need more than 1/3 cup depending on how much room you have left between layers).
• Pour half of your prepared oreo mix into another bowl; set aside for later use when making chocolate chip cookies!

2 eggs

Eggs are a main ingredient in cookies. They’re also a great source of protein, vitamin B12, choline and selenium.

Eggs are rich in riboflavin (vitamin B2), folate (vitamin B9), vitamin A and iron—all essential nutrients for healthy growth and development.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla extract is a liquid that is extracted from the vanilla bean. It has a strong, sweet aroma and flavor. The vanilla bean is first soaked in rum or water for two days until it softens and becomes pliable (soaking will make your extract more fragrant). Once this process is complete, you can remove the seeds from your pods and add them to your liquid along with other ingredients like alcohol or water—you’ll need about 2-3 cups of alcohol per cup of liquid; then allow everything to steep overnight before straining out what you don’t want (this could be all of it depending on how strong you like your flavor).

If you’re going to use vanilla flavoring in cooking applications such as baking cookies or brownies then this step isn’t necessary; however if you plan on using it as part of an actual dessert recipe then please follow these instructions:

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips is a good amount. If you’re using dark, milk or white chocolate chips, you should use 3-4 tablespoons of each. You can add more or less depending on your taste and how much you like the flavor of your cookies.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar and pudding mix until smooth. Add eggs one at a time until incorporated; then add vanilla extract if desired. Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout batter. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out cleanly
