Cake and Pudding Mix Cookies

15.25 oz. white or vanilla cake mix

3.4 oz. instant pudding mix*, any flavor

1 stick butter, melted

2 eggs

1 t. vanilla or other extract**

1 c. white chocolate chips

food coloring, if needed

water, if batter too stiff

Combine all ingredients except chips. Add chips, or just place on top of dough balls before baking, food coloring, if needed. Place water a little at a time if batter is too stiff. Place dough balls on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes only. Remove from oven and cool 2 minutes. Very soft and delicious!

*can also use cook and serve pudding instead of instant if that's the only way you can find the flavor you desire.

**I like using almond extract with pistachio pudding mix. I added a little green food coloring to the dough before I baked the cookies. These would be festive at Christmas with red sprinkles added.
