Ultimate WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP Halloween COOKIES
3/4 cup (12 TB) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup IMPERIAL dark sugar
1/2 cup IMPERIAL granulated sugar
1 (3.4 oz) box white chocolate pudding mix
2 eggs………………………………………………..……….1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda……………………….………..…...2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (12 oz.) pkg. white chocolate chips….…...….1/4 tsp. salt
NOTE: My daughters and I don’t like nuts in cookies, but if you really want to add nuts, then 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts would be perfect.
HALLOWEEN SPRINKLES
***
Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In mixer bowl, cream together butter, sugars and pudding mix. Then beat in eggs and vanilla. Beat in the baking soda and salt. **
Scrape down the sides of the bowl & paddle. Gradually beat in the flour on low speed, until it’s incorporated; then raise to a higher speed and beat for about 20 seconds. Turn down to low and fold in chips (and nuts) just until blended in.
I spray my small cookie scoop with buttery non-stick spray and put level full scoops of batter on the prepared sheets. Then go back and roll them into balls in the palm of my hand. Dip the top of each ball into HALLOWEEN SPRINKLES (so they stick while they're baking).
My cookie sheets are large and I put 12 cookies to a sheet (3 to a row, 4 staggered rows). They don't spread very much but do get nice & round & puffy.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them rest on the cookie sheet a few minutes before removing to rack or paper to cool completely.
Makes about 3 to 3-1/2 dozen.
In 1843, along the banks of Oyster Creek in what would later become Sugar Land, the Williams brothers built a mule-powered sugar mill, began grinding sugar cane, and a Texas legacy was born. The Imperial Sugar Company is the one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the State of Texas and was founded by one of the original 100 families brought to the state by Stephen F. Austin.
