I saw these cookies around Christmas time over at a blog called, The Girl Who Ate Everything. I was dying to try them then but just couldn't get one more cookie into my baking schedule. When St Paddy's Day approached, I thought hey, what about those delicious sounding Pistachio cookies. Yay! Low and behold, I baked up a batch, and boy am I glad I did. First of all, these are "semi-homemade" so they're super quick and easy to whip up. Secondly, they're really super, pistachio, yummy and with their soft green color they're perfect for St. Paddy's day.
Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cookies:
adapted from Betty Crocker via The Girl Who Ate Everything
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl stir cookie mix, pudding, and flour. Add melted butter and eggs and stir until incorporated.
Add pistachios and chocolate chips and mix well.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don't overbake them! If you bake them too long you will lose the soft texture and they won't be as green. They will not look done but take them out and let them sit on the pan for about 2 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
