Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell might disagree with me here, but, I don’t know, instant pudding is pretty ingenious.

It makes the best banana pudding, chocolate mousse, cupcake filling, and lush desserts. Let’s just be honest here, it’s a real winner.

And, it makes for the softest, chewiest, I-need-more-than-one-please-and-thank-you cookies.

Clearly, I might be instant pudding’s biggest fan.

I have this feeling that’s probably frowned upon now in schools, which, if we’re being honest, makes a little sense.

I mean, it’s a weird tradition, right? And, well, really not fun.

Especially if you were like me, and could never, for the life of you, remember to wear green.

I’m fairly certain though, if I’d had a batch of these cookies with me, I could have convinced everyone to do a little tradesies and skip the pinch in lieu of a cookie.

These soft and chewy pistachio pudding chocolate chip cookies are a fun twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe! A perfect St. Patrick's Day dessert! | www.alattefood.com
Servings: 12 -14 Large Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup + 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 3.4oz package pistachio pudding (instant)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp espresso powder optional
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Beat butter until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add in brown sugar and white sugar and beat until combined. Add in egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix flour, pistachio pudding, baking soda, and espresso powder. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  3. Once combined, add in the chocolate chips and mix.
  4. Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes, just to firm it up slightly. (Because I'm impatient, I typically scoop the dough onto trays and pop them into the freezer for about 5 minutes instead).
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a cookie sheet.
  6. With a medium cookie scoop (about 2 Tbsp of dough per cookie), scoop the dough and spread evenly on the cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 15-16 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden brown.
  8. Enjoy!

    I searched all over for a pistachio cookie with only one stick of butter. These are fantastic! My husband and I are eating warm cookies out of the oven right now and he said they could be sold in a bakery. I added a handful of crushed pistachios and white chips, forgot to freeze the dough first, and they still came out great. Next time I will use less than a cup of chips and bake a minute or two less. Thanks for a keeper recipe!

    […] However, I am certainly alllllll about the St. Patrick’s Day desserts, breakfasts, and treats (surprise surprise). I don’t actually have all that much on here dedicated to this day, but I certainly wouldn’t turn down some Double Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies or Pistachio Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies. […]
