Pistachio Cookies
These gorgeous Pistachio Cookies are made with real pistachios and a secret ingredient – instant pistachio pudding mix – for a delicious pistachio flavor! These cookies are not just a treat for your taste buds but also a feast for your eyes with their lovely color that is perfectly complemented with white chocolate chips studded throughout.
The white chocolate chips add the perfect touch of sweetness to these cookies and complements the pistachio flavor beautifully. I couldn’t resist adding in some “real” pistachios to the mix because I love a little crunch in my cookies.
Pudding cookies are incredibly popular because the pudding mix adds an extra softness and chewiness to the cookies and keeps them that way for days after baking. You can use any pudding mix in this cookie recipe but we really love pistachio!
