Baking Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and noticeably paler in color. Scraping down the sides of the bowl ensures an even mix.
- Add the room-temperature egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the creamed butter. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated, watching for a smooth, cohesive emulsion.
- Pour in the dry instant pistachio pudding mix. Beat it into the wet ingredients until a pale green tint emerges in the dough. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the flour disappears.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop 1.5-tablespoon mounds of dough onto your parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
- Watch the oven closely during the final two minutes. Pull the cookies out the exact moment you see slightly golden-brown edges. Let them cool on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 15-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
- Dip a fork into the glaze and drizzle thinly over the cooled cookies. Immediately sprinkle them generously with the chopped bright green pistachios.
Notes
Use the dry pudding mix straight from the box; do not prepare it with milk.
Almond extract strongly enhances the pale green pistachio flavor.
Underbake slightly for the best chewy texture.
