Cranberry Pistachio Pudding Cookies
The holidays are coming so fast! I can’t believe that November is already here, and the grocery stores are stocked with one of my favorite things, cranberries! I love cooking with cranberries. I always stock up every year on fresh cranberries, and freeze at least 4 – 5 bags to use throughout the year in different recipes. I also love those little dried cranberries, like I have used here in these cookies. I often munch on them as a snack, use them in granola, or as a topping for salads.
I’ve been wanting to make a batch of pudding cookies for a while. I’ve heard about how moist and wonderful they are. So for these cookies, I added a box of pistachio pudding mix. It adds a beautiful light green color and makes a wonderfully delicious and moist cookie.
I also baked these cookies on Reynolds parchment paper. Using parchment paper guarantees that your cookies won’t stick. It also prevents over browning and those unpleasant crunchy brown edges you get with cookies when you use nonstick cooking spray.
If you like the crunch of pistachios, add a cup of them (unsalted and roughly chopped) to the cookie dough before baking.
