HAPPY HUMP DAY! Are you feeling it? I am. So, let’s share a little midweek treat, shall we?
YUM!
We’re saying goodbye to February and moving into March with some sweet green treats. Keep these recipes handy for your St. Patrick’s Day fun!
Granny’s Green Pistachio Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for extra nuttiness)
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
A few drops of green food coloring (optional, for extra color)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and pistachio pudding mix. Add a few drops of green food coloring if using.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips.
Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. YUM!
CHEERS!
Oh, to be swept away to Hawaii right now! Let’s all toast to relaxing and pretending we’re sitting on the beach with our toes in the sand and a Green Hawaiian in our hand.
