Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.
Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the wet ingredients and mix until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft, chewy Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies!
