Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Whisk
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Cookie Scoop

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 pkg Pistachio Pudding Mix
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Butter Vanilla Emulsion
  • 1 1/2 bags White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Chopped Pistachios

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, dry pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.  Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the eggs and butter vanilla emulsion, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.  Do not overmix.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.  
  • Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still pale in color.  
  • Slide the parchment from the baking sheet and allow to set for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.  They will continue to firm up slightly as they cool while remaining soft inside.
