Super Soft Sprinkle Pudding Cookies

Ingredients:

¾ cup butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 egg, plus 1 yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 (3.5-ounce packet instant vanilla pudding mix)

2 cups flour

½ cup sprinkles

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in the egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Next mix in the pudding mix for 30 seconds.

Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.

Finally add in the sprinkles and mix until incorporated evenly.

Using a medium (2 tablespoon) sized cookie scoop drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are almost set. Don’t over-bake if you want super soft soft cookies.

The Augmented Reality Sandbox 

The Augmented Reality Sandbox (orginally developed by researchers at UC Davis) lets users sculpt mountains, canyons and rivers, then fill them with water or even create erupting volcanoes. This version of the device at UCLA was built by Gary Glesener using off-the-shelf parts and good ol’ playground sand.
