1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
3. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.
4. Mix in dry pudding mix, then gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place on trays (they spread slightly).
6. Bake 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
7. Let cool on the tray 5 minutes—they’ll firm up as they cool. Then transfer to a wire rack.

✨ Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days—or freeze dough balls for fresh-baked treats anytime!

💡 Make ahead: Dough freezes well—bake from frozen (+1–2 mins).
