1 package 3.4 oz / 96 g instant pistachio pudding mix (dry mix, not prepared)
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
¾ cup 170 g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
¾ cup 150 g granulated sugar
¼ cup 50 g brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract optional, but enhances flavor
Add-Ins
¾ cup 100 g shelled pistachios, finely chopped
½ cup 90 g white chocolate chips or chunks (optional but highly recommended)
