Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter , softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon butter extract see note
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies are best for baking)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats.
  • Beat butter and sugar in a stand mixer until fluffy, just a few minutes. Beat in egg and both extracts. Beat in salt, baking soda, and pudding mix. Add flour and mix slowly until completely combined. Stir in sprinkles.
  • Drop cookies onto prepared cookies sheets. I used a 1 tablespoon sized cookie scoop for small cookies (they are bite sized). Bake for 7-8 minutes, until they just start to get a teeny bit golden around the edges. Cool before removing from cookie sheets.
  • Note: for a puffier cookie, chill dough for at least one hour before baking.

Notes

McCormick now sells cake batter extract - substitute this for butter extract if you can find it.
