Print Recipe

These chewy pistachio pudding cookies are quick to make, using simple pantry ingredients and instant pistachio pudding mix for a soft, flavorful treat with a nutty twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (280 g)
  • 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226 g)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar (165 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped pistachios, lightly toasted (60 g) (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is glossy and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in ½ cup toasted, chopped pistachios for crunch and extra flavor.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake to maintain chewy texture; butter should be well softened for easy mixing; toast pistachios for best flavor; dough can be refrigerated for a day (add 2 minutes to baking time if chilled); store cookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
