These pistachio pudding cookies with chocolate chips are delightfully soft and chewy and I’m in love with their pudgy little shape! The minty green color turns them into a fun St. Patrick’s Day cookie too.
But, to be honest, they’re perfect any day of the year!
To make the pistachio pudding cookies with chocolate chips, I like to use cold butter. It helps the cookies retain that puffy shape when baking, but it does make it more of a pain in the tuckus when creaming the ingredients together.
If you’d rather use softened butter, I’d chill the dough before baking.
But you do you. I won’t be mad.
But I definitely recommend using a cookie scoop so all your cookies will be the same size and bake evenly. It’s the best cookie helper!
The cookies will be a bit delicate when they’re fresh from the oven, so be careful when transferring them to your cooling rack. You may lose a chocolate chip or two (which you are then free to eat).

I’ve never heard of such a thing. They sound so good! I’ll have to try them!
I tried something odd a few weeks ago. I made my Chocolate Chip Cookies that have oatmeal in them. I used Mexican candy as an influence. I put a touch of cinnamon, a touch of cayenne pepper, dark chocolate chips, and chopped Brazil Nuts instead of Walnuts. They are pretty good! They have a little kick, but not a lot.
