Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 (3.4 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup colorful sprinkles (jimmies or nonpareils)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

      Add Pudding and Eggs: Add the instant pudding mix to the creamed butter and sugars, mixing until fully combined. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

          Fold in Fun Additions: Gently fold in the colorful sprinkles, chocolate chips, and marshmallows (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft but will continue to set as they cool.

                Cool and Enjoy: Once out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve with a Bang: Serve these festive Fireworks Pudding Cookies at parties or gatherings for a fun and colorful treat that’s sure to take center stage!
