Soft Sprinkle Pudding Cookies
Soft vanilla pudding cookies packed with delightful sprinkles. When I make cookies, I almost always visit the blog Cookies and Cups. Shelly has the best cookies around. She also has a cookbook coming out which I pre-ordered the moment I heard it was available to order. Love her and her recipes. Back to the cookies!
Be sure to add the extra egg yolk or your dough will be too dry. I learned that the hard way when I misread the original recipe. You definitely don’t want to skip it.
I used half basic rainbow jimmies and half Birthday Party Sprinkle Medley from the Sweetapolita Sprinkle Shop. If you haven’t picked up a large cookie scoop online or in a store, it is perfect for recipes like this. I bought mine a year or two ago and I absolutely love it. The one linked is the exact one I got, which is 1.5 Tablespoons. If you want to have exactly 2 Tablespoons, which is what this recipe calls for, here is a link to one.
With all that shopping stuff done, bake up and some delicious cookies! Enjoy!
Soft Sprinkle Pudding Cookies
Makes 3 dozen
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, plus 1 yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (3.5-ounce packet instant vanilla pudding mix)
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in the egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Next mix in the pudding mix for 30 seconds.
- Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
- Finally add in the sprinkles and mix until incorporated evenly.
- Using a medium (2 tablespoon) sized cookie scoop drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are almost set. Don’t over-bake if you want super soft soft cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I love cookies! These sound so good!
My mom used to make a chocolate chip cookie recipe with pudding in it that was a favorite. I'll have to ask her to dig it up!
