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 these cookies, 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).
The best thing about these scrumptious pistachio pudding cookies with chocolate chips is that they retain their softness for days.
They are SO yummy!
