Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) pistachio pudding mix (instant)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-Ins:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Mix the dry ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugars:
    In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pistachio pudding mix until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Incorporate eggs and vanilla:
    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine dry and wet ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Add chocolate chips and pistachios:
    Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pistachios (if using) until evenly distributed.
  • Shape the cookies:
    Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to cook as they cool.
  • Cool:
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, include the chopped pistachios.
  • If you like a stronger pistachio flavor, try adding a bit of pistachio extract or using pistachio-flavored baking chips.
