Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Pudding Cookies
  1. In a stand mixer, cream 3/4 cup of softened unsalted butter until it's light and fluffy—this should take around 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 box of instant pistachio pudding mix, 1 teaspoon of almond extract, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a few drops of green food coloring into the creamed butter. Blend on medium speed until smooth—approximately 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually add 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour into the mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  4. Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into balls. Place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
  8. Let the cookies rest on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
