Cake Batter Pudding Cookies

I stumbled upon this cake batter pudding cookie recipe and couldn't wait to try it out. This cookie dough is so tasty! I have been using a silicone baking mat when I bake cookies, and have noticed a significant difference in the consistency of the cookies. Just a suggestion if you have one handy ;-) Otherwise just bake on a greased baking sheet. Enjoy!

{ Prep Time: 15 mins / Baking Time: 10-12 mins / Difficulty: Easy / Yields: 3 dozen }

Ingredients:

1 1/2 sticks butter, (3/4 cup) softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar/splenda

1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix (I made one batch with sugar free and it tasted just as delicious! It reduces the sugar a good bit.)

3/4 cup yellow cake mix

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking soda

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup sprinkles of your choice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda; then set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl - with the paddle attachment - cream butter and sugars together. Add the pudding package and cake mix and beat until well combined.

4. Add eggs and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Stir in your sprinkles.

5. Roll into 1" balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 mins.
