Ingredients
  • 1 cup (two sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, at room temp
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 3.4 oz package pistachio instant pudding mix
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • ½ to ¾ cups pistachios, toasted and chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325F and evenly spread pistachios on a baking sheet.
  2. Toast for about 10 minutes, stirring about every ¾ minutes.
  3. Once toasted up the oven temperature to 375F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, seperately, being sure to scrape down the sides between each addition. Add vanilla, and finally pistachio pudding mix.
  5. In a seperate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
  6. Using a wooden spoon, mix by hand the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir in the toasted pistachios and chocolate chips, being careful to not overmix.
  7. Scoop cookies onto prepared baking sheets, and bake for 12 minutes, until tops are just barely golden.
  8. Let cool on baking sheets for about 10 minutes before moving to cooling racks. (They are so yummy warm- so feel free to gobble them up at this point!)
