Funfetti Cookies

These Funfetti Cookies are the perfect combination of soft and chewy.  Vanilla pudding gets added for additional flavor and moisture.  Plenty of festive sprinkles makes them a great addition for everyday enjoyment or special celebrations.

My daughter had a great time helping me make these cookies and I’m guessing it partially had to do with the copious amounts of sprinkles.  We added a full cup of them to the batter and then rolled the top of the cookies in extra sprinkles for even more color.  

I’ll probably make these for Christmas with green and red sprinkles because they are just that good.  They are reminiscent of my Gooey Butter Cookies that we just can’t get enough of around here.  Add in these Chocolate Cherry Thumbprint Cookies to the menu and we are set.

Needed Ingredients for Funfetti Cookies

• 2 Sticks of Butter
• 1 Box Vanilla Pudding mix
• 3/4 C. Sugar
• 2/3 C. Brown Sugar
• 2 1/2 C. Flour
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1 C. Sprinkles (plus extra for topping)

Recommended Equipment

I have no issues with these cookies sticking to the pan, but if you can always use parchment paper or Silicone Baking Mats if you have any concerns.  I always use a Cookie Scoop similar to this one for making cookies.  It is also great for making melon balls for fruit salads or cocktails.  Finally, a large cookie sheet is really a time-saver for baking multiple batches of cookies.  My parents gave me one a couple of years ago and I use it all the time.
