The instant pudding mix I used for this recipe You can substitute other brands that are available in your area.
In a bowl, add room-temperature soft butter. If it is not soft, melt it on a pan or in the microwave for a few seconds.
Add light brown sugar and caster sugar to the butter and mix well until it combines to form a smooth, creamy consistency.
Now add in one egg and mix well with the spatula.
Add vanilla extract to it; it is purely optional.
Sieve all-purpose flour, chocolate pudding mix, baking powder, and salt and gently mix until it forms a dough consistency.
Finally, fold in the milk chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed. The cookie dough is ready to shape and bake.
This Chocolate chip pudding dough needs no chilling. It is ready to shape and bake.
I use a small scoop (a 2-tablespoon-sized measuring spoon) to shape the cookie dough.
Bake at 180°C for 13 to 15 minutes. Because this cookie contains instant pudding mix, the cooking time will differ from that of a regular cookie. Baking time differs according to the size of the cookie.
When taken out of the oven, the cookie will be soft. Allow it to cool thoroughly on a cooling rack. The decadent cookie with a slightly crisp outside and soft, fudgy inside is ready to serve.

You can mix in any variety of chocolate chips, either semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate, as per your taste. For this recipe, I use milk chocolate.
Chocolate chunks go well with these cookies, too.
You can add your favourite mix-ins, such as nuts and dried fruits.
I used light brown sugar and caster sugar. You can use whatever sugar you like. But make sure of the sweetness of the cookies.
