Pistachio & White Chocolate Cookies (Perfect For Christmas & Saint Patrick's Day)

Delicious Cookies with Gourmet Flavors

Ingredients: 

2 cups unsalted butter

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

2 (3.4 ounce) boxes pistachio pudding

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

4 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups pistachios

2 cups white chocolate chips

green sprinkling sugar (optional)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350*. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs. Add the pudding and mix in.

Sift together the baking soda, salt and flour. Add to the butter mixture and mix until well blended. Stir in the nuts and white chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour or longer. Use a 1 inch cookie scoop to measure about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. (Place 2 inches apart.) 

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges. If desired, sprinkle with the green sugar. Cool the cookies for 10 minutes on the baking sheets and then transfer to racks to finish cooling completely. Store in an airtight container with sheets of waxed paper in between layers of cookies. Makes about 10 dozen cookies.

Notes: These cookies are both fun and tasty! The green sugar is optional, but adds a pretty sparkle. I admit that I love the flavor of pistachios❣  ~ My husband, who doesn't care for white chocolate, really liked these cookies, too. (I made lots to give as gifts ~ If you do not need 10 dozen, you may cut the amount of ingredients in half.) 😀
