The regular setting works just fine for these chocolate chip cookies with pudding mix.
Check to make sure your leavening agents are still active – look at the expiration dates or test the reaction. Baking powder will bubble with boiling water, and baking soda will bubble with vinegar.
Also, make sure your butter isn’t too soft to start since that can make your treats spread out and flatten. If it has already been added into the dough, just refrigerate the dough to firm it back up.
The size may be too big. Try using a smaller scoop for more even baking.
Dark metal baking sheets may also be the culprit. Reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and try again.
If you store cookies in an airtight container, they should remain soft cookies during the duration. However, if any air gets to the baked cookies, they will firm up a bit and go from chewy cookies to a bit harder in texture.
Don’t fret.

You bet. This easy recipe makes the best chocolate chip cookies, but it does make a large batch. That means that once you get done baking all the cookie batter, you might find that you have some leftovers.
