Soft and Chewy Pistachio Pudding Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant pistachio pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or semi-sweet if preferred)
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Cream the butter and sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Add the pudding mix and eggs:
- Add the pistachio pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
4. Combine dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Mix the wet and dry ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
6. Add chocolate chips and pistachios:
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
7. Shape the cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake the cookies:
- Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center of the cookies should still look slightly soft.
9. Cool the cookies:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Soft and Chewy Pistachio Pudding Cookies are rich, buttery, and packed with pistachio flavor. The white chocolate chips add a smooth sweetness that perfectly complements the nutty pistachios. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage! 🍪🌰
