Equipment

1 medium size mixing bowl
1 wire whisk
1 heavy metal spoon Wooden spoon don't work well when mixing the ingredients
2 sheets parchment paper
2 metal cookie sheets
1 spatula
1 medium size pot
1 small cookie scoop

Ingredients

1 package Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix with chips removed save chips in a container for a later date
1 package chocolate instant pudding
1 stick melted brown butter
1/4 cup flour
2 large room temperature eggs
1 large handful peanut butter chips if there are allergies white chips or butterscotch work well. I use a large handfull because a 1/4 of a cup is too much and overtakes the batter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350
cover cookie sheets with parchment paper
Begin melting and browning the butter over medium/low heat. Wait for the butter to foam on top while melting. This begins the browning process.
After there's a good amount of foam carefully tilt the pot to see if the butter is beginning to turn an amber color. This shouldn't take too long. As soon as you notice the amber color remove from the heat and let it cool a bit
Now add the cookie mix, pudding mix and flour and whisk to combine and to remove clumps
Next add the room temperature eggs and cooled butter to the mixture and combine slightly with a metal spoon
Add the handful of chips to and combine well.
Add a level scoop of the dough to the cookie sheets and bake for 12-13 minutes
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes
Remove from the cookies and let them cool completely on a cooking rack
