Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (170 grams) butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (3.5 oz / 99 grams) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie release.
- Mixing Base: Utilize stand mixer to whip butter and sugar until fluffy and pale, creating an airy foundation for the dough.
- Wet Ingredient Fusion: Blend egg, extra egg yolk, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt thoroughly, ensuring complete incorporation and scraping mixer sides for uniform mixture.
- Pudding Integration: Swiftly mix instant vanilla pudding powder into wet ingredients, creating a rich, creamy base.
- Flour Incorporation: Gently fold flour into mixture on low speed, stopping just as ingredients combine to maintain delicate cookie texture.
- Sprinkle Distribution: Fold colorful sprinkles throughout dough, carefully preserving their vibrant structure and even placement.
- Portioning and Placement: Use cookie scoop to create uniform dough mounds on prepared sheet, spacing them to allow gentle spreading during baking.
- Baking Process: Bake for 8-10 minutes, monitoring edges for subtle golden hue while preserving soft, tender center.
- Cooling Technique: Rest cookies briefly on baking sheet to stabilize, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling, allowing texture to set perfectly.
Notes
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thick, soft texture.
- Sprinkle Strategy: Gently fold sprinkles at the end to prevent color bleeding and maintain their vibrant appearance throughout the cookie.
- Pudding Mix Magic: The instant vanilla pudding mix is the secret weapon for creating ultra-soft, moist cookies with a tender crumb.
- Precise Baking Timing: Watch cookies closely during the 8-10 minute baking window; remove when edges are just set but centers remain slightly underbaked for maximum softness.
