Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.67 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3.4 oz instant pistachio pudding mix from a 3.4-oz box
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk flour, pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Add dry ingredients in two additions. Mix just until no dry spots remain.
  • Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
  • Scoop 1½-tablespoon mounds of dough onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
  • Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then move cookies to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Variation: Swap white chips for dark chocolate or add 1/2 tsp almond extract for a stronger nutty note. For color, mix in a drop of green gel coloring.
Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
