Sprinkle Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened butter and sugar. Use the paddle attachment to beat on medium speed until well combined.
3. Add the egg and yolk, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the pudding and mix until well combined.
5. Add the flour, ½ cup at a time, and mix on low until just combined.
6. Add the entire container of sprinkles and mix until fully incorporated.
7. Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 Tbsp) to place small scoops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are almost set. They will be slightly puffy in the middle and that’s OK - you don’t want to overbake.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1-2 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
10. Store in an airtight container on the counter.
