This is a pistachio pudding cookies recipe with creamy white chocolate, folded into soft chewy cookie dough with lightly salted crunchy pistachios.
Soft and buttery pistachio cookies you say?? I got you. These are the cousin of my original Vanilla Pudding Mix Cookies, a huge hit at every gathering. The textures are phenomenal and they're freezer friendly! This recipe makes about 3.5 dozen, and I love to freeze the dough.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that I can make the cookie dough ahead, freeze it, and bake it easily. It turns out that frozen cookie dough only takes a few more minutes to bake than regular dough! Normally I bake these cookies 11-12 minutes. When the cookie dough is frozen into balls I can bake them in about 15 minutes. Win win win.
