Pistachio Cookies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
85 grams of softened unsalted butter (about 3/4 cup).
02 -
100 grams of white sugar (about 1/2 cup).
03 -
100 grams of light brown sugar (about 1/2 cup).
04 -
Two big eggs.
05 -
One teaspoon of vanilla extract.
06 -
2 and 1/4 cups of regular wheat flour.
07 -
96 grams of instant pistachio pudding mix (found in France as 'Mélange pour Crème Pistache').
08 -
A teaspoon of baking soda.
09 -
Half a teaspoon of sea salt.
10 -
A half cup of white chocolate chips.
11 -
A half cup of chopped pistachio nuts.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven to preheat at 175°C (350°F), keeping the rack in the middle, and line your baking trays with parchment paper.
02 -
Use an electric whisk to mix the softened butter with both sugars until the combination is light and airy. This usually takes 2 or 3 minutes.
03 -
Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, then continue mixing until it's silky smooth and all mixed up.
04 -
In another bowl, stir together the flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, and salt so it's evenly mixed up.
05 -
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually and mix until they just come together—don’t overdo it!
06 -
Carefully stir in the chopped pistachios and the white chocolate chips until they’re spread out evenly in the dough.
07 -
Scoop out tablespoon-sized dough portions and roll them up into even little balls.
08 -
Set each dough ball on the baking trays, giving them about 5 cm (2 inches) of space since they’ll spread while baking.
09 -
Push each dough ball down a little to help them flatten out when inside the oven.
10 -
If you’re feeling fancy, add some extra chips or nuts on top for a good look.
11 -
Bake the cookies for about 12 to 14 minutes, until you see the edges turn golden while the center stays soft.
12 -
If the baking doesn’t look even, turn the trays halfway through.
13 -
Take the cookies out, then let them rest on the trays for 2 or 3 minutes.
14 -
Move the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before eating.
15 -
After cooling, keep the cookies fresh in an airtight box.
