Chewy Pistachio Treats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 3.4 ounces pistachio pudding mix.
02 - 1 teaspoon baking soda.
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher recommended).
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
05 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar.
06 - 2 large eggs.
07 - 3/4 cup butter that's been softened.
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
09 - 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped.
10 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour.
11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips.

# Instructions:

01 - Turn the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper while it warms up.
02 - Use an electric mixer to blend the softened butter and both types of sugar until fluffy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
03 - Add the vanilla and eggs to your butter mixture. Keep mixing until it's smooth and everything's well combined.
04 - In another bowl, stir together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt until everything's evenly distributed.
05 - Slowly put the dry mix into the wet ingredients. Stir only until mixed, so you don’t overdo it.
06 - Gently fold in your pistachios and white chocolate chips, making sure they're spread out.
07 - Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into little cookie balls.
08 - Lay the cookie dough balls on your lined baking sheets. Keep about 2 inches between each one.
09 - Press each ball down a bit so it spreads evenly while baking.
10 - If you want, press some extra chocolate chips or pistachios onto the tops.
11 - Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes. Look for edges that are golden but soft centers.
12 - If needed, rotate the pans halfway through to make sure they cook evenly.
13 - Let the cookies sit on their baking sheet for a couple of minutes after coming out of the oven.
14 - Move cookies to a wire rack to cool off completely.
15 - Once they've cooled down, keep them in something airtight to store.

# Notes:

03 - Change up the add-ons to your liking.
04 - Can be prepared ahead of time.
