Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 package pistachio pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
- Add pudding mix and eggs: Add the pistachio pudding mix and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until everything is well combined.
- Mix in dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking soda, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Stir in pistachios: Stir in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a chewier texture, you can slightly underbake the cookies, keeping an eye on the edges as they start to turn golden.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
- You can substitute the chopped pistachios with any other nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for a different flavor.
