INGREDIENTS

  • Cookie Dough

    • 🧈 1 cup butter, softened
    • 🧂 1/4 cup white sugar
    • 🥚 2 egg yolks
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🌾 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix

  • Filling and Garnish

    • 🍫 2 cups white chocolate chips
    • 🥛 1/4 cup whole milk
    • 🍊 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
    • 2 ounces roasted, salted pistachios, finely chopped

STEPS

1

Combine butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until well mixed. Add flour, salt, and pudding mix; beat well. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and allow to cool on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.

5

Combine white chocolate chips, milk, and orange zest in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

6

Pour white chocolate mixture into a piping bag and pipe into the thumbprint of the cooled cookies. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
