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.
