The first step of this recipe is to grab all your needed ingredients and pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In an electric mixer, or by hand, whichever you choose, add your butter and brown sugar and mix on medium speed for a few minutes until creamed together.
Next, add your egg, vanilla and pistachio pudding mix to your creamed mixture and combine well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda and then gradually add this to your wet mixture until combined well.
Time to scoop out 2 tbsp ish sized balls of cookie dough and roll into a ball. You are going to want to flatten the cookie slightly with a fork before baking as these cookies will spread, but not a ton.
Bake the cookies on a parchment lined baking tray for about 12 minutes. Let these cool completely before decorating.
To decorate the cookies in the picture, I melted a red chocolate melting wafer and stuck it in the middle of the cookie and then placed a red heart candy in the centre.
Makes 12 cookies! Enjoy!
