I read all those ecards all over Pinterest and Facebook telling me how “nothing tastes as good as thin feels” or “choose what you want now or what you want most”… You know what? I want a cookie now AND most. SO…
Anyhow, I will totally get back on track…just as soon as I eat the last of these Pistachio Pudding Cookies. I mean, I can’t throw them out…aren’t there still starving children somewhere? It would be rude and entitled to just toss cookies into the wastebasket. I’m choosing my cause, folks. Ok, cookies…they are made (flavored really) with a pudding mix. I’ve read that pudding mix keeps them soft yada yada…but I found mostly it just flavors. That’s my opinion anyway. And in this case the pudding flavored AND colored the cookies…so don’t be scared by the green-ness. It’s just there to remind you that you are eating pistachio flavored stuff. Because it couldn’t be pistachio if it weren’t green, right? Easy, I’m kidding. Ok, let’s talks cookies.
I have never really been a pistachio girl. I mean I do enjoy the occasional nut, but I generally would never choose a pistachio flavored item. However, these cookies have made me a believer. Hallelujah. I even grabbed some pistachios to throw into the cookies…
Actually I bought already shelled pistachios for these cookies, but alas, when I went to the cupboard to procure said pistachios, they were missing, with only the shelled variety staring back at me.
How to Make Pistachio Pudding Cookies
One of my lovelies decided to eat the already shelled ones. SO I spent the next eleventy minutes shelling pistachios. Then chopping…
Finally after my hundredth birthday when I was done shelling and chopping I got to the dough. I added the instant pudding mix…
And it made the dough an unusual green…
Stay with me here. I swear they’re delicious. Do the normal baking stuff…
And the normal cooling stuff…
Then of course the normal eating stuff…
Blam. A Pistachio cookie. PS – I added white chocolate chips because they rawk.
