Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. Scrape down bowl sides.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, instant pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.

Notes
Use instant pudding mix, not cook-and-serve. Do not overbake for soft texture. Dough can be frozen for later use. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
