Name: Pudding cookies
Prep time: PTH20M
Cook time: PTH8M
Yield: 30 cookies
Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened; 3/4 cup, packed brown sugar; 1/4 cup sugar; 1 package (3.12 oz) vanilla pudding mix; 2 large eggs; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, semi sweet, divided (or any chocolate chips you prefer); 3/4 cup rainbow sprinkles, or sprinkles of your choice, divided; 1 tsp sea salt

The 4th of July is just around the corner (like next week) and these cookies are a perfect way to celebrate!!

These are not just chocolate chip cookies?

So what makes these so special? Simple, pudding. Yes there is pudding mix in the cookies, making them super moist and tender and oh so good!!

The pudding also adds another layer of vanilla goodness giving these cookies something people will remember.

Sprinkles everywhere!

To make these already delicious cookies even more fun I threw in some sprinkles. Now you could use any sprinkles you have on hand, but I went with red, white and blue for the upcoming Holiday. Not only are they pretty but perfect for your 4th of July party…plus the kids will LOVE the sprinkles for sure.

It took me some hunting to find the sprinkles, for some reason my grocery store did not have them out yet and Hobby Lobby didn’t have any either, but I did find some at Michaels (finally).

Funny story… I couldn’t drive at the time (it was right after my surgery) and The Sweet Hubby drove me around to 3 stores, on a Saturday, just so I could find these super festive sprinkles. I know he was so over it and could care less about the sprinkles, but he was quite the trooper and stick it out, in return he got a snow cone…so it was a win, win for everyone.

Super Quick & Easy

As I mentioned these cookies are delicious, and so cute but they are also SOOOOO EASY! The come together super quick with ingredients you probably have on hand and then bake for 8-9 minutes and they are ready to go.

There is no chilling, or waiting for these cookies…they are mix, bake and eat. I love those kind!!

For some added fun

Get the whole family involved (if you have time) and let them stir int he sprinkles or add some extra on top. This could be a fun (and messy) activity that the lids are sure to love.
