We love cookies as I am sure most of you know by now. We eat them in every variety that there is from chocolate chip to brown butter cookies and everything in between! I have this great recipe for a Moist and Chewy Funfetti Cookie that uses instant vanilla pudding mix to keep these cookies nice and soft.

This recipe makes approximately 36 cookies (tablespoon drops) vary your cooking time if you want smaller or bigger cookies. They also freeze well. Make the recipe below and roll into balls and freeze prior to cooking. Simply take the prepared cookies out of the freezer and allow them to defrost and bake as you normally would.

1 large egg + 1 additional egg yolk

1 pkg (3.5 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (5 minutes)
