Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add the flour, dry pudding mix, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Whisk together to combine. Set aside.
Add your granulated sugar and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl with your softened butter, and vanilla.
Cream together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
Mix together until fully incorporated. The dough will be dry and look like crumbs.
Add the water to the cookie dough.
Mix together with a wooden spoon until the crumbs come together to form cookie dough. You may need to press the dough together with your hands.
Add the chocolate chips.
Mix together to combine and evenly distribute.
Scoop the dough into ¼ cup sized balls of dough. Place onto the prepared baking sheet 2-3 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges look set and the tops are not glossy.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven top the cookies with some remaining chocolate chips.
Let rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to the cooling rack.
Continue until all cookies have been cooked and cooled.
Notes
Recipe Tips:
These chocolate chip cookies are easy to make but require a large mixing bowl. Allow the baked cookies to sit on the sheet for at least 2 minutes for proper setting.
When preparing in advance, chill the dough in the freezer or fridge, adjusting based on baking needs. Freeze dough balls or cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
