Spumoni-Inspired Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spumoni-Inspired Chocolate Chip Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking those cookies to golden perfection!

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. This step ensures that your cookies will have a light and fluffy texture, so don’t skip it! Set this mixture aside for now.

3. Step 3

   In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is where the magic begins!

4. Step 4

   Next, stir in the instant pistachio pudding mix until it’s well combined. This will add a delightful flavor and moisture to your cookies.

5. Step 5

   Now, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla extract for that warm, inviting aroma.

6. Step 6

   Gradually blend in the flour mixture you set aside earlier. Mix until just combined; overmixing can lead to tough cookies, and we want them soft and chewy!

7. Step 7

   Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped maraschino cherries, and chopped pistachios. This is where your cookies get their colorful and delicious character!

8. Step 8

   Using a large spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto ungreased baking pans, leaving some space between each dollop to allow for spreading.

9. Step 9

   Bake in your preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are light brown. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible!

10. Step 10

    Once baked, let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delightful Spumoni-Inspired Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
