Pistachio Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

These pistachio chocolate chip pudding cookies are the SOFTEST soft batch cookie recipe. In fact, I would be willing to place money on the fact that these are better than any soft batch cookie recipe you've ever tried before. The best part? They are done in less than 15 minutes!!

These cookies will look very soft, and might not darken in color. My oven is calibrated to the exact temperature, and these cookies baked for only 9 minutes in my oven. These cookies in texture resemble under baked cookies when they first come out of the oven. It is very important that you let them rest for 5-10 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wired cooling rack. Do not over bake.

    These are great. Being a cookie maker for dozens of different cookies for my yearly friendship party, I can testify that this basic dough will work if you change the pudding and/or "add-ins" in it. Almost any combo of chips, dried fruit, or nuts, with a pudding will work. Some might not, but experiment and see what you like it. If you think the add-ins would taste great in a dish of already prepared pudding, then it will taste great as a combo in the cookies. Here are just some combos that you can substitute in place of the pistachio pudding, chocolate chips, and/or pistachios.
