Super Soft Sprinkle Pudding Cookies
These SUPER SOFT Sprinkle Pudding cookies are so so easy and loaded with vanilla flavor! This is the best sprinkle cookie recipe to make because it’s so easy, buttery, and delicious!
Adding instant pudding to your cookie dough is a simple trick to amp up the flavor, but also to keep the cookies soft.
Make sure you’re using instant pudding, not “cook and serve”. The coagulants in the “cook and serve” are different than the instant, containing a large amount of cornstarch. The texture will be altered and it won’t bake up as nicely
The texture of this easy sprinkle cookie recipe is outstanding! Make sure not to over-bake them if you want super soft cookies. If you prefer a little bit of a crispy texture, no problem just bake them a little bit longer!
