Pistachio Pudding Cookies
Soft, fluffy
pudding and pistachio cookies with cream
cheese frosting. An easy treat that everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups shelled chopped pistachios
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (3 ounce) package pistachio instant pudding mix
- 2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
First, preheat
the oven to 375.
Then, in a
large bowl, beat the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the vanilla and the
egg and beat until everything is well combined.
Stir in
flour, pudding, baking powder and salt. Continue to mix until the dough comes
together * just *.
Stir in the
chopped pistachios and food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
About a
tablespoon at a time, spread the dough on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing
the cookies about 2 ".
Bake for
9-11 minutes (10 is always perfect for me). Your cookies may seem slightly
undercooked - that's ok !!! It is done. Overcooking removes the soft texture.
Let them
cool for a few minutes before removing them on a wire rack to cool them
completely.
Happy
Cooking Time.
