324 Reviews of Carol's Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chippies

by Dawn

I normally like my cookies a little on the crisp side, but decided to give these a shot. I'm so glad I did- these are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted. The were ever-so-slightly crisp on the outside, chewy and delicious on the inside. The pudding adds an unimaginable level to these... perfect!!! (posted 2/16/2002) UPDATE: I made these again, this time with the chocolate pudding, and a couple of cups of oatmeal thrown in. My dinner club group attacked the plate when I brought it out, and literally devoured it down to the last crumb! These cookies are really the next level!

    The only time my mother can lure me into her kitchen is with a great cookie recipe. Well, she found it. This recipe also proved there is nothing wrong with her stove. These cookies are simply the best! I plan to make dozens and distribute to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. All you skeptics out there don't let this recipe pass you by! There are no words for this one! WOW :O :> :I Yum.

    As if this recipe needed another great review. The poker party I hosted would not stop raving. I'll just quickly list my pointers for anyone who might find them helpful: 1. The cookie dough will have a very different texture than most. More puddy-like. 2. Make sure you 'round' out your cookies and flatten a bit as they mostly keep their existing shape while baking 3. Sugar-Free pudding mix worked great 4. These cookies keep MUCH better than most. They were still soft in tupperware on day five 5. If you like peanut butter - peanut butter & chocolate chips are to die for!!

    The cookies did come out with a terrific texture. However, I thought they were too sweet (brown sugar is sweeter than regular) and the recipe contained no salt! (I added a teaspoon). The recipe also doesn't specify when to add the vanilla. (I added it after mixing in the flour). Overall, a good recipe.

    Thumbs up from myself, DH and four guys working on a restoration project at our cottage. They inhaled these cookies. I threatened to deduct two bucks per consumed cookie from their paychecks (LOL). As noted by another rater, the directions do not say when to add the vanilla. I put it in with the eggs. I also added a 1/2 tsp. of salt. I used margarine and not butter. These cookies kept their form well, browned nicely. They are a little sweet. I would probably cut back on the brown sugar just a tad. I added a cup of chopped walnuts.

    These cookies come out puffy, crisp on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. I've made them with chocolate chips and vanilla pudding and I've also made them with butterscotch pudding and butterscotch chips. The butterscotch flavor was great!

    Easy to make and tasted so good! I substituted half the butter for applesauce to reduce fat and still they tasted great!

    This recipe was simple and very tasty. I liked the fact that the cookies weren't too sweet. I also tried a variation and used chocolate pudding and white chocolate chips and that was ok too.

    The pudding in the recipe really does keep these cookies soft. I think it's the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever! They are wonderful.
