Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3.4 oz pistachio pudding mix
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Feel free to swap for semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios If you prefer a nut-free version, skip the pistachios.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the pistachio pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. You can freeze them for up to three months in a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, place a cookie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
