Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1.67 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 box instant pistachio pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup chopped pistachios
  • green or blue food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (3–5 minutes).
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add food coloring if desired.
  • Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
  • Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the sheet, spacing apart.
  • Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
  • Press a few extra chips on top of each cookie and cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for best results. For added flair, top each cookie with extra white chocolate chips or sprinkles before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
