Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3.4 ounce instant pistachio pudding mix one standard box
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup roasted shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 drop green gel food coloring optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and almond extract. If using, add gel food coloring and mix just until the color is even.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
  • Fold in chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop dough into 1.5 tablespoon portions and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
  • Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra crunch, reserve 2 tablespoons of chopped pistachios to press on top of the dough balls before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
