Firecracker Cookies

4th of July is right around the corner, with many BBQs and parties happening this weekend. I always love a festive treat, and these firecracker cookies are just that - complete with red, white & blue sprinkles and white chocolate chips.

ingredients

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 package vanilla pudding mix

1 cup sprinkles

2 cups white chocolate chips

directions

{1}

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a stand mixer, combine butter and sugars until smooth. Add vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time.

{2}

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and dry pudding mix.

Slowly add flour mixture to the stand mixer, stopping halfway to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, place dough on a baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until soft in the center and edges and golden brown and slightly chewy. Enjoy!
