Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2–1/4 cups (280 grams) flour
- 1 package (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter and Sugar:
- 12 tablespoons (170 grams) butter
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (80 grams) Fruity Pebbles cereal
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by preheating the oven to 350°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine flour and baking soda, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy, ensuring smooth incorporation.
- Incorporate instant pudding mix into the butter mixture, blending until fully integrated and creamy.
- Introduce eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter becomes smooth and consistent.
- Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Gently fold Fruity Pebbles and white chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing evenly throughout.
- Portion dough into uniform 1-inch balls, placing them strategically on prepared baking sheets with adequate spacing.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges and slightly set centers.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing them to firm up naturally.
Notes
- Fold Fruity Pebbles gently to prevent crushing, maintaining their vibrant colors and delightful texture throughout the cookies.
- Let butter and eggs reach room temperature before mixing for smoother, more evenly incorporated dough that ensures soft, chewy cookies.
- Replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make these colorful treats accessible for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to preserve their crispy edges and soft centers.
