🍪 Pistachio Wedding Cookies 🌿 A buttery delight to sweeten your special moments! 🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️ - 3.4 ounces dry pistachio instant pudding mix - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 2 cups powdered sugar (divided) - 1 cup salted butter, softened (2 sticks) - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined. 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and dry pistachio instant pudding mix. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, blending until a dough forms. 4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in wax paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow it to firm up. 5. After chilling, scoop teaspoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Slightly flatten each ball and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the sheet for 3 to 5 minutes. 7. While the cookies are still warm, roll them in the remaining powdered sugar to coat. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely. 8. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their tender, crumbly texture. 🍎 Nutritional Information 🍎 - Calories: 150 per cookie - Carbohydrates: 14g - Protein: 2g - Fats: 10g - Fiber: 0.5g 💡 Tips and Tricks 💡 - For an extra festive touch, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios over the finished cookies. - If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the texture is manageable. - Want a pop of color?
