Rotate your cookies in the oven halfway through baking to ensure even baking.I place a 1-inch cookie on top of another 1-inch cookie to make a tall 2-inch cookie that bakes up perfectly. Be sure to scoop the dough first and scoop tall cookies. Refrigerate your dough for at least 24 hours up to 72 hours.Room temperature ingredients incorporate better with each other. Use room temperature ingredients– such as your butter and eggs.Simply add on a few minutes of baking time if they are frozen. Allow the cookies to freeze solid first on the cookie sheet, then pop them into a zip-loc bag, ready to bake whenever you want. Then when ready to bake, simply place the cookies on your cookie sheet and bake! You could also freeze them at this point. Then wrap the whole sheet in plastic wrap and place in your refrigerator for 24 hours. Scoop the dough and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. So you end up with soft, thick, and chewy cookies. This helps to firm the up the butter so they spread less and intensifies the flavor. The key to these cookies is chilling the dough. This ensures I do not over mix if I’m using my stand mixer.

If you want to add some I would recommend only about 2 tablespoons or the pudding mix, or if adding more may want to try reduce the amount of flour added (but I haven’t tested it this way). Recipe Update: I originally added a vanilla pudding mix to these cookies, but found it didn’t mix all the way in. With dark chocolate chips, tart dried cherries, and almond extract mixed into a classic vanilla cookie dough they are out of this world! These dark chocolate cherry almond cookies are a perfect twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie. ![]()
