Pistachio Cookies with a White Chocolate Glaze

So in a few weeks we are going on vacation and beforehand me & the hubster wanted to shed a few pounds. We want to shed them so we can gain them back during vacation. So my husband just called me and told me the following.


Husband “Jen, I just ate two donuts, Krispy Kremes”

Me “You bad boy, did you heat them up in the microwave?” (my favorite way to eat them.)

Husband “Yes the first one I did, but the second one I just ate like a shark”

This made me laugh out loud.


PS. Indigo ate like 12 of these which is really shocking, BAD BAD ….I mean thanks for saving my hips lady

PSS. Yes the picture below is of me balancing 2 cookies on a wine glass, I really have no excuse for this food styling choice. No judging please.









INGREDIENTS (makes 10-12)


¾ cup flour
¼ tsp baking soda
1/3 cup butter, softened
¼ brown sugar, + 1 tbs white sugar
2 TBS of Pistachio Pudding Mix
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
2 drops of green food coloring (can be omitted)


· The white chocolate glaze is a handful of white chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of milk, and enough powdered sugar to thicken it to your liking. Simply microwave the chocolate and milk at 50% power until melted then add in the powdered sugar.







DIRECTIONS


Pre-Heat your oven to 375


In a medium sized bowl mix together your flour, baking soda, and pudding mix.


In another bowl beat together your butter, egg, sugars, food coloring, and extract. Combine the two mixes, cover in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours. When ready fashion those bad boys into medium sized balls.









Place each cookie ball on to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 for about 10 minutes (just keep an eye on them). The bottoms might be slightly browned, but I will promise you the inside is simply divine. They also hold up quite well…little puffs of joy!








So channel your inner shark and get your eat on.
