How To Make These Delicious Cookies
Preheat and prepare. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cream the butter and sugars. Beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and combined.
Add egg and vanilla. Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Combine dry ingredients. Gradually add the flour, instant vanilla pudding mix, salt, and baking soda; mix until just combined.
Fold in chips and nuts. Stir in the white chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed and a dough forms.
Scoop and bake. Using a medium cookie scoop, place rounded portions of dough on the prepared sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges are set and cookies are cooked through.
Cool and dip. Let the cookies cool completely. Dip the top half of each cookie into melted white chocolate, then set on wax paper to harden. Serve at room temperature.
Recipe Tips For Success
- Use quality ingredients. Better butter and chocolate make a noticeable difference.
- Don’t overmix. Mix just until the dough comes together to keep cookies tender.
How To Serve
Serve these cookies at room temperature. They make a great addition to dessert trays, parties, and holiday gatherings.
How To Store Leftovers
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Can I Freeze These Cookies?
Yes. Freeze baked and fully cooled cookies or shaped cookie dough in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving and, if desired, dip in white chocolate after thawing.
