Pistachio Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

PISTACHIO CREAM CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

These cookies are amazing. Just going to get right down to it. They bake long enough just to get a golden bottom, but are gooey in the center and so moist. The pistachios are of course, the best part, but this recipe actually involves instant pistachio pudding, and don’t judge too quickly, because it’s so so good.

You can use them in cookie trifles too! Who doesn’t like sprinkles?
