Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the pistachio pudding mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios (if using).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent spreading if your kitchen is warm.
- Optional pistachios add a nice crunch, but the cookies are still delicious without them.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
