Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3.4 ounces (96 grams) instant vanilla pudding mix
Flavoring and Color Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons red Jello mix
- 2 tablespoons green Jello mix
Finishing and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (128 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (42 grams) Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend softened butter with sugar until creamy, then incorporate vanilla extract and egg, whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Gradually fold in flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt, gently mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Separate the dough into two equal portions, then vigorously mix red jello powder into one half and green jello powder into the other, ensuring even color distribution.
- Sprinkle colorful decorative sprinkles into each colored dough batch, gently folding to create a festive appearance.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as an indicator of doneness.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain their soft texture.
Notes
- Elevate flavor by using high-quality butter and pure vanilla extract for richer taste.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free blend for celiac-friendly version without compromising texture.
- Use natural food coloring alternatives like beetroot powder or matcha if avoiding artificial jello colors.
