| Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies | ||||||
| My mom made these when I was 16, and she lost the recipe. We have been looking for it for years. I just found it on-line this year. I made two changes to it, and they are exactly like what my mom made years ago. | ||||||
| Ingredients: 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1 cup butter 1 cup white sugar 2 eggs 2 Tblsp. Milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 cup chopped pecans 1 3 oz. package instant pistachio pudding mix 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips extra chocolate chips |
Directions: Preheat oven to 375º. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla, stirring after each addition. Add the dry ingredients and mix until stiff dough forms. Separate a 1/4 of the dough from the rest and set aside in a small bowl. Add the nuts to the dough in the small bowl. Add the pudding mix and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the large portion of dough; mix until blended. Roll the pudding flavored dough into walnut sized balls, and place 1 1/2 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten the balls using your hand or the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Roll the dough from the small bowl into marble sized balls, place 1 ball on top of each of the flattened cookies. Then, on top of each cookie, place one chocolate chip on each marble dollop. Bake for 8-10 minutes, in the preheated oven, or until cookies are set. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on a wire rack. Makes 5 dozen. |
