For all our chocoholics out there, we bring you chocolate chip chocolate cookies! Yes, that’s double the chocolate and double the delicious! Soft, moist, and oh so chocolatey!

I had a hard time coming up with a name for this recipe. Should it be “chocolate chip chocolate”? “Chocolate chocolate chip”? Or maybe just “double chocolate chip”? Sheesh! It’s hard to know, but what I do know for sure is that these are DIVINE!

I’m actually more of a fruit dessert kind of gal, and Cade is all about the chocolate, but when I make these cookies, it’s me who can’t stop eating them. I may have even grabbed a couple and eaten them alone in the pantry so I didn’t have to share with my kids. Shhhhhh…yes, I am one of those moms!

Where Can I Find Devil’s Food Pudding?

I buy pudding at Walmart. I know Walmart is usually lacking but for some reason they excel at pudding. They have so many flavors. Occasionally, I can’t find the Devil’s Food Jello pudding flavor, so I’ll grab chocolate fudge or just plain ol’ chocolate. Just be sure to not get sugar free.

You can also use a combination of chocolate puddings. You’ll need two of the small boxes of pudding, and you will use one whole box and just part of the second box. Use a kitchen scale to measure exactly 5.1 ounces.

Why Use Pudding in Cookies?

Pudding makes the most soft and moist cookies, not to mention the delicious chocolate flavor. Trust me, you’ll want to put pudding in all your cookies from now on!

Can These Cookies Be Made Ahead of Time?

These are a great make ahead cookie! Scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet and then cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake them the next day. When you are ready to bake them, let them sit on the counter for 15-30 minutes to come to room temperature.

Can You Freeze Cookie Dough?

The best way to freeze cookie dough is to freeze cookie dough is to scoop the cookie dough into balls and drop on a parchment lined cookie sheet.  

Freeze for 2 hours and then transfer the frozen dough to freezer bags.

When you are ready to bake them, let them sit out on the counter for 30 minutes to come to room temperature and then bake as directed.

Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cookies

  • It’s very important that you purchase INSTANT pudding and not the cook and serve kind. The cook and serve style of pudding won’t work for this recipe.
  • When adding in the instant pudding mix, add it like any other dry ingredient. You don’t actually make the pudding mix like it says on the box. Just stir it into the dough like you would normal flour.
  • To make our homemade chocolate chip cookies even prettier, we like to add a few extra chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks as seen in the photos) on top of the dough balls right before baking. It’s an extra step, but it’s so worth it! 
  • We like to sprinkle a little flaked sea salt on top. That salt on top gives the best flavor! It’s totally optional, but makes for much prettier pictures! 🙂

How Long Will Cookie Dough Keep In The Freezer?

Cookie dough will keep for 3 months in the freezer.

How Do You Store Cookies?

Let cookies cool completely and then store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

*I buy my pudding at walmart. If I can’t find Devil’s food I’ll use chocolate fudge or plain chocolate. Or we love a combo of two, but you must use a kitchen scale to use one box and add the second box until you hit 5.1 ounces. 
 
*These cookies work awesome to make and scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet, cover with plastic and store in the fridge until baking the next day. Remove for 15-30 minutes from the fridge before baking. You can also freeze the dough, but setting it out for 30 minutes will help them not look like golf balls when baking. Or transfer to the fridge that morning and bake that night.
