Main Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup butter, room temperature Softened for better mixing
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation
  1. Beat the butter on medium-high until creamy (about 20 seconds). Add almond and vanilla extracts and mix until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and pistachio pudding mix. Gradually add this mixture to the butter, mixing until well-blended.
  3. Fold in the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips.
  4. Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, roll dough into balls and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet at least an inch apart.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms turn a golden brown.
  4. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  5. While warm, roll cookies in powdered sugar, and allow to cool completely before rolling again in sugar.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Consider toasting pistachios for extra flavor.
