Does anyone else have an obsession with pistachios that I don’t know about? I was never that into pistachios growing up. My little sister Ashley was a totally different story. I can remember her getting bags of pistachios as presents and her being THRILLED. She also would choose to eat my Nana’s stewed tomatoes over ice cream any day of the week.

Weirdo.

But now I’ve totally come around to pistachios and I can’t get enough of them. I always have a bag tucked away for snacking on and that brilliant green color that peeks out from their shells always gives me a thrill.

I’m not a pistachio snob though. I’ll take it anyway I can get it and pistachio pudding mix is one of my faves.

It adds the prettiest green color as well as fantastic flavor to so many great recipes. I don’t know a single person that wouldn’t turn down a bowl of Pistachio Fluff and likewise with these cookies, no one can resist.

Incredibly soft, these cookies are perfectly chewy and just melt in your mouth. Studded with white chocolate chips ad chopped pistachios, they are just as pretty as can be.

This recipe makes about two dozen and I’m a little ashamed and embarrassed to say that a full dozen had disappeared by the time Chris got home from work.

I blame the boys.

The white chocolate chips add the perfect touch of sweetness to these cookies and complement 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. You do too, right?

Trish’s Tips and Tricks

So here’s a couple tricks you’ll want to use to get the perfect cookie:

  • Use clear vanilla extract if you can find it. Regular vanilla can make the pretty pistachio green color turn brownish.
  • Make sure to refrigerate the dough. If you want a super thick cookie, bake at 350F for about 8 or 9 minutes. For a more traditional looking cookie bake at 325F for 11 to 14 minutes. I made them both ways and preferred the look of the cookies at 325F.
  • I made these cookies three times before figuring out that as much as I love brown sugar, I had to drastically reduce the amount for the same reason as I needed to use the clear vanilla extract – it negatively impacts the color of the cookies. Don’t freak out when you see I only use 1/4 cup 🙂
  • White chocolate chips tend to turn brown when baked in the oven. When you’re scooping your cookie dough keep those white chips inside the cookie dough. You can always add a few to the top when you pull them out of the oven.

    I’ve made these three times cuz they are so good. The first I followed the recipe with white chocolate but the second my boy said no he wants milk chocolate. Oh my! The milk chocolate ones are so amazing. My only confusion the recipe says serves 2 dozen. I get 4! I am using a 1 tbsp cookie scooper and your instructions say 1 tbsp so I dont understand why I’m getting more but I’m GLAD! Running to the store to get more pistachio pudding! These are delish!

    These are my absolute favorite cookies. I make them for my clients every year too!

    However placing them in the fridge made the dough rock solid for me. I think I’ll just do it straight away this time.
