Cookies

  • 3.4 ounce instant pistachio pudding mix

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and beat until light and fluffy.
  2. Add in the powdered sugar, pudding mix, vanilla, almond extract, and green food coloring. Mix well.
  3. Add in flour and combine.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  6. Using a dough scoop or 1 ½ tablespoons, scoop dough and roll into balls. Place dough on the prepared pan about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake for 11-15 minutes until just barely turning light brown on the edges. Leave on cookie sheets for 3-5 minutes to firm up before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For a more festive look, consider rolling the dough balls in finely chopped pistachios before baking.
