Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 6 minutes
Total Time 21 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup salted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1 ¼ cup powdered suger divided
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3.4 ounces pistachio instant pudding mix dry (1 small 3.4 ounce box)

Instructions

  • Cream the butter: In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl), beat softened butter until smooth.
  • Add sugar & vanilla: Mix in ½ cup of the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and dry pistachio pudding mix.
  • Form the dough: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Chill: Transfer dough onto wax paper, shape into a ball, wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Shape cookies: Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Then, roll the dough into teaspoon-sized balls.
    Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Use the back of a measuring spoon to gently press the tops to make a slight indentation.
  • Bake: Bake for 6–9 minutes, or until set but not browned. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes.
  • Coat in powdered sugar: Roll warm cookies in the remaining powdered sugar, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature.
