Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, instant pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. If using, gently fold in white chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop dough (about 1.5 tablespoons per cookie) onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden. Centers will look soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Be sure to use instant pudding mix, not cook & serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
