These Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies are sure to become a new favorite – So soft and delicious, they’re impossible to resist! You and your kids are going to fight over these.

I have not made any chocolate chip cookies  recently,  things are about to change – its summer vacation and am home  with 5 kids. As usual I have to  them busy  entertained and baking is one of those things we are doing, as part of our summer routine.

Keeping them satiated and entertained is no joke. There isn’t a day that goes by without  some “Wahala” – yes, I start using African slang when it’s too much for me to handle. I have to count the days until we head back home.  

They all want home made treats  – especially chocolate chip cookies. They love the process -measuring , pouring, mixing – and of course  licking the bowl. Oh Yes,  I let them do it – it’s the their favorite part . What I did differently with this cookie is to add pudding mix  in the dough to make it soft – not my idea, it is all over the internet- a must try. And it really makes it tender, soft and oh so good. Irresistible !!!

This is a simple chocolate chip cookie in every way. It only takes about 5 minutes prep – no mixer required. A quick bake in the oven and you have an incredibly chocolate chip cookie – Crisp edges, moist, amazingly soft and chewy center and FYI it is loaded with chocolate chips. Just the way a chocolate chip cookie needs to be. The only downside is the resting time in the fridge. What can I say; some things are worth waiting for.

One take away when making cookies is not to over bake – they are best still soft and moist. I like mine warm with a glass of milk Enjoy.   Originally published June 2014, updated with fresh stories and fresh photos
