Easy Funfetti Cookies (with a Secret Ingredient)
These are soft, chewy birthday cookies packed with colorful sprinkles. The secret ingredient, vanilla pudding, gives them a delicious flavor and an extra soft bakery-style texture.
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter 1/2 cup or 1 stick
- 100 g white sugar 1/2 cup
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 50 g vanilla instant pudding mix 1 small package or about 1/2 cup
- 180 g all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 80 g sprinkles 1/2 cup
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, vanilla pudding powder, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and egg yolk and mix until combined.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixture and mix on low speed just until combined.
- Fold in the sprinkles.
- Scoop the cookie dough and shape it into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving enough space between each cookie. Gently press each cookie slightly to help them spread evenly. Top with more sprinkles.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F(180°C) for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
