These Strawberry Pudding Confetti Cookies are a variation of my Pistachio Pudding Cookies. My daughter came up with the idea, and after making these she thought they’d be great for a birthday party, which they would! They are easy, sweet, and chewy. The sprinkles add festive color and the dough is just barely pink, but you could add food coloring to make it brighter.
The drops of dough look like little balls of strawberry ice cream with sprinkles.
These cookies bake up really soft, so be careful when transferring to a rack to cool.
These cookies are sweet, soft, chewy, and gooey – just like the pistachio version!
Super simple – just mix, drop, and bake and you’ve got a sweet treat.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Beat margarine, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy. Beat in strawberry pudding mix and vanilla until fully combined. Beat in egg. Mix in flour and baking soda, dough will be stiff. Blend in pink food coloring to desired color, if using. Stir in rainbow sprinkles.
3. Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to drop by large tablespoonfuls on cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 mins, until bottoms are just barely golden. Cookies will appear underdone, but will set while cooling. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
