Pistachio Cranberry Cookies

Dec. 4, 2013

Pistachio Cranberry Cookies - 25 Days of Christmas - Cookie Style - www.SweetDashofSass.com

Day 4:  25 Days of Christmas – Cookie Style

From appearance, these cookies look like they would be difficult to make.  The most difficult part is un-shelling the pistachio nuts!   Thanks to Betty Crocker for this inspiration!  Plus, my taste testers gave this recipe two thumbs up.

Ingredients
  • 1 (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix Pouch

  • ½ cup dried cranberries, chopped
Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, combine cookie mix, box of pudding, and flour.
  3. Add butter and eggs; stir to combine.
  4. Add pistachios and cranberries; mix well.

Makes 4 dozen.




Tip #1:  Trust the cooking time.  The cookies won’t look done, but you do not want to over bake them.  You want them to stay green (not brown) and have a soft texture.

Tip #2:  Variation — Add 1 cup of White Chocolate Chips to the batter -or- sprinkle with Bright White Sparkling Sugar.
