Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 ⅔ cups (200 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3.4 ounces (96 g) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (56 g) shelled pistachios

Wet Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • 1 drop green food coloring

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat for optimal non-stick surface.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Using an electric mixer, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth base.
  4. Incorporate egg, vanilla extract, and green food coloring, blending thoroughly to achieve a uniform color and texture.
  5. Slowly integrate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to prevent overmixing and maintain a soft dough consistency.
  6. Delicately fold white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios into the cookie dough, ensuring even distribution of mix-ins.
  7. Portion cookie dough using a tablespoon, creating round mounds placed 2-3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets to allow spreading.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching for light golden edges as an indicator of perfect doneness.
  9. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete cooling and achieve ideal texture.
