Pistachio pudding cookies are a quick and easy, yet elegant snack. The cookies freeze and refrigerate well, too!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 3-4 drops green food coloring optional
- 3.4 ounces pistachio instant pudding 1 box
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup chopped pistachios divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300˚F. Grease 8×8 pan and line with parchment paper.
- Cream butter until soft (1-2 minutes). Add food coloring if desired. Add pudding mix and sugar and cream together until well combined. Add flour and mix until a dough forms. Add ½ cup pistachios and mix until just combined.
