Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies: Christmas Funfetti Pudding Cookies
DAY 7: Christmas Funfetti Pudding Cookies
Another experiment adding pudding mix to a cookie dough. This festive cookie has vanilla pudding added, along with white chocolate chips and Christmas sprinkles.
NOTE: Be cautious when baking with sprinkles. Some are made to hold their shape when baking, but some melt and dissolve when heated. Unfortunately, sprinkle makers do not always label them as such. If you are unsure, make a test cookie: Remove one scoop of dough from batter before stirring in the sprinkles. Mix about 1/2 tsp of sprinkles into that ball of dough and bake.
If I have extra sprinkles at the end of my baking, I always mark the container so that I know whether they can be baked or not.

Valentine Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Simple to make shortbread cookies made festive with Valentine sprinkles. So much easier than rolling, cutting out, and frosting regular sugar cookies.
The dough is quick to make with no chilling or rolling required. The addition of cornstarch to the cookie dough helps these to melt in your mouth.

DAY 1: Whipped Shortbread Cookies
These simple cookies have quickly made their way onto our list of family favorites. The cornstarch and powdered sugar in the dough make them practically melt in your mouth.
In addition to Christmas baking and spending time with family, this month I am choosing to participate in an initiative to “Light the World” through small and simple acts of kindness.

RECIPE:
Whipped Shortbread Cookies
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
3 cups flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ tsp salt
1 Tbs vanilla extract
Candied sprinkles
Preheat oven to 300°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar until very light and fluffy, at least 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Beat in flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Using a small cookie scoop, place level scoops on baking sheets, about 2” apart (I can get 20 cookies on a baking sheet). Rub your hands with a small amount of cornstarch, and then roll scoops of dough into 1” balls; return to baking sheet. Press each dough ball with the tines of a fork dipped in cornstarch, to flatten slightly. Dust the tops of the cookies with candied sprinkles.
Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until baked through. Cookies will still look very pale. Don’t overbake. Cool on wire racks.
Makes about 5 dozen small cookies
