Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Pudding Cookies
- 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.
- 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.
- Gradually add 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour into the mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into balls. Place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Let the cookies rest on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
Ensure your butter is softened but not melted, and avoid overmixing for optimal texture.
