Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • ¾ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 pkg Instant Pistachio Pudding Mix 3.4 ounces, dry, not prepared
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • Green Food Coloring optional
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Pistachios

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Stir together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter and both sugars together in a large bowl with a stand up mixer or hand held mixer until the mixture is creamy and light.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract.  Mix until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.  Be careful not to over mix. Add in green food coloring until the dough is a deeper green color.
  • Gently stir in the white chocolate chips and crushed pistachios into the cookie batter by hand.
  • Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven.  Press a few additional white chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies while they are warm.
  • Let them sit on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. 
Keep a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them moist.
