Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Like the alliteration? You’ll like these cookies even more.

A hipster twist on my mom’s classic recipe, these gluten-free chocolate chip cookies have just the right amount of softness as they do nostalgia- but no, I’m serious; they really are incredibly soft.

The secret to my mother’s hidden gem of a recipe is pudding mix. Now, traditionally, she uses vanilla, but my lumberjack of a lover and I have successfully recreated the recipe using banana pudding mix for a flavor combination that almost jeopardized my title as Eric’s girlfriend. And to be honest with you, I wouldn’t blame him.

The original recipe said 8-10 minutes, but when I left these in for 9 they were a little too dark even for my humor, so 8 minutes seemed to be perfect. As always, however, it is up to you to be the judge.

Without further ado, here is the only gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe you will ever need:
