Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Instant pudding mix
Adds flavor and sweetness and helps the cookies stay soft and moist.
Bisquick
Provides the flour and leavening that give the dough its structure and body.
Shortening
Adds fat that tenderizes the cookies and keeps the crumb short.
Egg
Binds the dough and adds structure as the cookies set.

The step that matters

Blending the shortening into the mix. Working the fat into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal coats the flour particles, which limits gluten development and keeps the cookies tender rather than tough.
