Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) cut into pieces
2 eggs
2 3.4-oz pkg pistachio instant pudding mix
1 teaspoon clear vanilla flavoring You can use regular vanilla extract but it may add a more brownish tinge to the color of the cookies.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In mixer, cream together eggs, butter and pudding mix until combined and smooth. Stir in clear vanilla. Add flour and baking soda. Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop teaspoonfuls of dough an inch apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cookies will have a golden hint on edges but will still be very soft. Carefully remove to cooling rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.

Notes

There's no additional sugar in the recipe as the pudding mixes provide all the necessary sweetness.

You can soften the butter beforehand to make it easier to cream together the ingredients, but if doing so, chill the dough before baking so the cookies won't flatten too much.
