Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 package (3.4 oz) pistachio pudding mix
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure thorough incorporation.
- Sprinkle the entire package of pistachio pudding mix into the wet ingredients and mix until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers appear set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted. Room temperature butter creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: When combining dry and wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense cookies.
- Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which ensures even baking and a professional look.
- Chill Option: For even richer flavor, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to enhance the pudding mix's flavor.
- Storage Hack: Place a slice of bread in your airtight container to keep cookies soft and fresh for longer.
- Customization: Feel free to swap chocolate chips with white chocolate or add chopped pistachios for extra crunch.
- Oven Variations: Every oven is different, so start checking your cookies at the 10-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
