Instructions

1
|
In a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla pudding mix. Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract and continue beating on high speed until fluffy.
2
|
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed just until all the flour mixture is incorporated. Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3
|
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper. Mix the ¼ cup of white sugar and the cinnamon.
4
|
Form chilled cookie dough into balls, using about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie, rolling between your hands to make it smooth. Roll each in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat before placing on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie for spreading room.
5
|
Bake cookies, one pan at a time, in the preheated oven for 8-11 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Finish baking the remaining cookies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pudding Mix Magic 🍮
    The instant vanilla pudding mix is the secret weapon for ultra-soft, moist cookies - it helps retain moisture and creates a more tender crumb.
  • Chill for Success 🧊
    Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30-60 minutes before rolling to prevent spreading and create a more compact, perfectly shaped cookie.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Coating Technique 🌀
    Create a deep cinnamon sugar mixture with a 4:1 ratio of sugar to ground cinnamon, and roll the cookie dough balls completely to ensure maximum flavor coverage.
  • Butter Temperature Matters 🧈
    Use room temperature butter that's softened but not melted to ensure proper creaming and optimal cookie texture - it should be soft enough to easily press with a finger.
  • Baking Sheet Strategy 🍪
    Use a light-colored baking sheet and line with parchment paper to prevent over-browning and ensure even baking of your snickerdoodles.
