Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 3.4 oz (1 box) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
  4. Mix in the pistachio pudding mix until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
  7. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
  8. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in rounded tablespoons, spacing each about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are just golden and centers are still soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to maintain soft centers.
  • Chill dough for 20 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
