Festive Pudding Cookies with Sprinkles These delightful pudding cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with festive sprinkles, making them perfect for any celebration. Ingredients: Unsalted butter and shortening (combination not specified) Granulated sugar Eggs 100% pure vanilla extract All-purpose flour Instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 ounce box) Baking powder Salt Christmas sprinkles (red, green, and white sprinkle mix recommended) Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar using a stand mixer or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and instant pudding mix until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing well between each addition until fully incorporated. Using a cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the dough ball in a bowl of sprinkles to coat thoroughly. Place the sprinkle-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
