Pistachio pudding cookies

We love sweet treats, we love sweet treats, even more, when they are easy to make and taste DELICIOUS! That’s why for St Patrick’s day I wanted to share something that’s more on the green side but that would also be super fun for the holiday because why not!

Pudding mix cookies are actually super popular because the pudding mix makes the cookies extra soft and chewy too without having to add in anything too crazy.

This is the best Pistachio Pudding Cookies

For these specific ones, we use pistachio pudding to give it that nutty flavor that we then combine with the toasted unsalted pistachios to bring it full circle.

It’s such a beautiful mixture of flavors and texture that I can’t wait for you to try out at home too!

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store these pistachio chocolate chips cookies?

These cookies can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

You can also store them in the fridge for longer. I like to pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them ooey gooey again.

How to freeze pistachio pudding cookies?

You can freeze these cookies in an air-tight container for up to 2 months. Either let them thaw on the countertop, in the fridge overnight, or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them warm and delicious before eating them.

Can I make these without chocolate chips?

Absolutely! If you want to make these without chocolate chips, I would recommend adding more pistachios instead. Also, be aware that if you’re not going to add the chocolate chips you will get less than 22 cookies per batch.
