I am a huge cookie fanatic, especially if they are chocolate cookies,
and I have made many. These are so incredible, easy, and turn out every
time (thanks, pudding mix!). Everyone who tries them falls in love them.
I also wanted to note that, while I usually agree with having to chill
the dough before baking, in the case of these cookies it really isn’t
necessary. The cornstarch in the pudding mix prevents them from
spreading too much, even without chilling the dough first (and I live at
5,000 feet where I have to normally take special precautions in order
for my cookies not to spread – not so with this recipe, hallelujah!). I
usually form all the cookies, bake off a few to eat right away, then
freeze the rest of the dough to bake whenever I need a cookie, or want
to take some to a friend. Anyway, thanks for a recipe that satisfies my
most intense chocolate cravings. Just made another batch!
