Celebration Pudding Cookies

Ingredients:

• ½ cup butter
  
• ¾ cup brown sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
• ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
• ¾ cup plain, peanut, or any flavor M&Ms

Instructions:

1. Note: This dough requires chilling.
2. Cream butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (You can also use a hand mixer.) Mix in egg and vanilla until smooth. Add pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined. Mix in flour, then stir in sprinkles and M&Ms.
3. Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment. There’s no need to space them out, you’re going to chill them. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place chilled cookie dough balls 2” apart on cookie sheet. Bake 9-11 minutes or until the edges just start to turn brown. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to one month.
