Description

Delicious pistachio cookies made with creamy unsalted butter and a hint of vanilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 box (86 g) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven – Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter & Sugar – In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until combined.
  4. Fold in Pistachios – Gently fold chopped pistachios into the dough.
  5. Shape Cookies – Scoop dough (about 1 tbsp each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake – Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your butter is softened but not melted.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help with shaping the cookies.
