# Ingredients:

01 - ¾ cup room-temp unsalted butter.
02 - 1 egg, large size.
03 - 1 cup regular sugar.
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, the pure kind.
05 - 1⅔ cups plain flour, all-purpose.
06 - 3.4 oz package of instant pudding mix, vanilla flavor.
07 - 2 tablespoons green-flavored Jello powder.
08 - 2 tablespoons red-flavored Jello powder.
09 - ½ teaspoon regular salt.
10 - 1 teaspoon baking soda, not powder.
11 - ¼ cup colorful Christmas sprinkles.
12 - ¾ cup white chocolate chips.

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven to 350°F. Cover a baking tray with parchment.
02 - Beat sugar and butter together. Add the egg and vanilla once creamy.
03 - Stir in pudding, salt, flour, and baking soda to form soft dough.
04 - Divide dough into two. Stir in red Jello to one half, green to the other, and sprinkle on the candy pieces.
05 - Drop dough balls on the tray and bake 8-10 minutes until the edges just brown.
06 - Cool on a wire rack before keeping them away.

02 - You can stick with one color scheme.
03 - Don't bake too long—they stay softer this way.
