Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 (5.1 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1.5 tablespoons vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps

1. Set the oven to preheat at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease 2 cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, both sugars, pudding mix and vanilla together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. Whisk the milk, vinegar and baking powder in a small bowl to a froth.
4. Mix the milk-vinegar mixture into the butter mixture, then work in the flour, baking soda and salt until dough forms. Stir the chocolate chips through it.
5. Shape the dough into round balls with a cookie scoop and drop them onto the prepared sheets. Press down slightly if you prefer flatter cookies.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until light brown. Cool briefly on the sheets, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
