For a more intense pistachio flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of pistachio extract to the dough along with the vanilla extract. If you don't have instant pistachio pudding mix, you can use a different flavor or omit it altogether, but the pistachio flavor and light green color will be affected. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and softened cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. (8 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, for easier handling. This chilling time is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. (60 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup. (10 minutes)
06 Step

07 Step
Recipe View Bake for 9-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are set and the bottoms are very lightly browned. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft and tender texture. (10 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (20 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View While the cookies are cooling, prepare the chocolate drizzle. In a small, heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between), melt together the finely chopped semisweet chocolate and vegetable shortening, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. (5 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle a small amount of melted chocolate over each cookie using a fork or a piping bag. (15 minutes)
11 Step
Recipe View Allow the chocolate to set completely before storing the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. (30 minutes)

Aug 15, 2023My cookies spread a little more than I expected, even after chilling the dough. Next time, I'll try chilling the dough for a longer period of time.
