Soft and chewy pistachio pudding cookies with a subtle nutty sweetness, perfect for any occasion. These easy homemade treats combine simple pantry staples with a unique pudding mix twist for moist, flavorful cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed (110 grams) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (90 grams) chopped pistachios, shelled and unsalted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and creamy with a slight pistachio tint.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed or stirring with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers still look soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies tender. Toast pistachios lightly before chopping for enhanced nuttiness. Cookies look underdone when removed but will firm up while cooling. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
