Stir in dry pudding mix and beat well.

Add vanilla extract and eggs, stir well to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until completely combined.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Scoop cookie dough into approximately 2 Tablespoon-sized balls and gently roll between palms to form a round ball. Place cookie dough on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2 inches apart.

Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before removing and enjoying.
