Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons strawberry Jell-O mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (3.4 oz) package white chocolate instant pudding
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the strawberry Jell-O mix and mix until fully incorporated. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white chocolate pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Shape and Bake: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you want to make these cookies extra festive, consider adding pink or red sprinkles before baking.
- The strawberry Jell-O mix gives the cookies a subtle fruity flavor; for a more pronounced taste, you could add a bit more Jell-O mix.
