How to Prepare These Valentine’s Day Cookies

  1. Start the Magic: Preheat your oven to a warm 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for cookie magic.
  2. Creamy Beginnings: In a capacious bowl, unite softened unsalted butter, sugar, and strawberry Jell-O mix. Employ a hand mixer to blend them into a creamy, dreamy mixture. Following this, introduce eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until they’re well-acquainted.
  3. Dry Ingredient Waltz: In a different bowl, orchestrate a mix of all-purpose flour, white chocolate instant pudding, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually merge this dry ensemble into the buttery mixture, ensuring each addition is well mixed.
  4. The Final Stir: Introduce white chocolate chips to the mixture, folding them in gently, ensuring they’re evenly dispersed.
  5. Shaping Love: Utilize a small cookie scoop to shape the dough into 1½-inch balls of love. Arrange these on a greased baking sheet, leaving room for a little spreading.
  6. Baking Moments: Bake these beauties for 9–10 minutes, just until they start to whisper of golden perfection.
  7. The Cooling Ritual: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet momentarily, then transfer them to a cooling rack, letting them achieve the perfect texture.
