Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until just combined.
- Mix in the flour, pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Continue mixing until the dough just comes together.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios and the food coloring until the color is distributed evenly.
- About a tablespoon at a time, portion the dough out onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2" apart.
- Bake for 9-11 mins (10 is always perfect). Your cookies might look slightly under-cooked - it's ok. They are done.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
Cookies will have a chewy texture if not overbaked.
