Ingredients

Scale

2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp clear vanilla or almond extract
Optional: 2–3 drops green food coloring
1 cup white chocolate chips
½ cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla or almond extract and food coloring if using.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not overmix.
Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
Use a #40 or #30 cookie scoop to portion dough. Chill for 20–30 minutes if desired.
Place dough balls 2 inches apart and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
Cool on tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Room temperature butter ensures the perfect texture. Don’t overmix the dough, and test one cookie before baking the whole batch for optimal results.
