Pistachio Pudding Cookies
Deliciously chewy Pistachio Pudding Cookies are made with butter, sugar, and chopped pistachios, perfect for a sweet treat.
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- baking sheet
- oven
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 package (3 ounce) pistachio instant pudding mix
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups shelled chopped pistachios
- 2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until just combined.
- Mix in the flour, pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Continue mixing until the dough just comes together.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios and the food coloring until the color is distributed evenly.
- About a tablespoon at a time, portion the dough out onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2" apart.
- Bake for 9-11 mins (10 is always perfect for me). Your cookies might look slightly under-cooked - it's ok!!! They are done. Over baking takes away the chewy texture.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, do not overbake to retain the chewy texture.
