    Ingredients

      • 1 cup butter, softened

      • ½ cup granulated sugar

      • ½ cup light brown sugar

      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

      • ½ teaspoon almond extract

      • 3.4 ounces package instant pistachio pudding (dry mix)

      • 2 eggs

      • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

      • 1 teaspoon baking soda

      • ¼ teaspoon salt

      • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

      • ½ cup green M&Ms

      • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pistachios

      • Green food coloring (optional)


    Instructions

      1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

      1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth.

      1. Add Flavorings and Pudding Mix: Add the vanilla and almond extracts, followed by the dry pistachio pudding mix. Mix well. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition.

      1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly between each addition. If you’d like a more vibrant green color, add a drop or two of green food coloring at this point.

      1. Add Mix-Ins: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, green M&Ms, and chopped walnuts or pistachios until evenly distributed.

      1. Scoop and Bake: Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are turning slightly golden.

      1. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.


    Notes

      • Nut Variations: Feel free to swap out walnuts for chopped pistachios for an even stronger pistachio flavor.

      • Add More Fun: Consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty contrast.

      • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.

    These Pistachio Cookies are a delicious treat that will delight anyone who takes a bite. Enjoy baking and sharing these delightful cookies! 🍪🌈
