Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Butter, softened
- ½ cup Confectioners’ sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
- 1 package Instant pistachio pudding mix
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Ensure your butter is properly softened but not melted. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until it is completely smooth. Add ½ cup of the confectioners’ sugar and beat the mixture with an electric mixer until it becomes light and fluffy. Finally, mix in the pure vanilla extract until it’s fully combined.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, the entire package of instant pistachio pudding mix, and the salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet butter mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together.
- Divide the finished dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat disc and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Once chilled, take the dough and form teaspoon-sized balls. Place them about one inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball slightly before baking.
- Bake the cookies for 9–10 minutes until they are soft. Let rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then roll in the remaining confectioners’ sugar and cool completely on a wire rack.
