Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Pudding Mix and Eggs: Stir in the instant pudding mix until well combined. Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
Fold in Sprinkles and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the colorful sprinkles and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one.
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden and the centers appear set.
Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5-10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve: Once cool, serve these delightful cookies to family and friends, and watch them disappear quickly!

Notes

Chocolate Swirl: For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.

Nutty Addition: Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to give the cookies a crunchy texture.

Dried Fruit: Instead of chocolate chips, use dried fruit like cranberries or raisins for a chewy, tart contrast to the sweetness of the cookie.
