Cranberry Pistachio Sugar Cookies


I saw a recipe for these cookies on a blog a few days ago, and they captured my fancy!  Christy, at The Girl Who Ate Everything says she found the recipe from Betty Crocker, but without her post, I wouldn’t have known that this gem of a cookie existed.  The color is light, yet noticeably green, with flecks of red cranberries so suitable for the holidays.  Plus, she gives great tips for shortcuts that will have these cookies gracing your table and palate with the ease you crave during this most busy time of the year!

I used a homemade dough for mine, reducing the sugar, and adding pistachio pudding mix.  So pretty, so yummy!

Don't forget the shopping list!

3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
3.4 oz box instant pistachio pudding
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup craisins

Mix ingredients together and form into 1 1/2" balls.  Bake for 9 minutes at 400 F.

From one classical appetite to another...happy cooking!
