Saint Patricks Pistachio Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Puree avocado in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and blend until creamy. Add applesauce, sugar, and milk; pulse to combine. Add egg; pulse until smooth. Add pudding mix, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt; pulse until dough is smooth and pastel green.
• Place pistachio nuts in a resealable freezer bag and crush with a meat mallet. Add crushed pistachio nuts and flour to dough; pulse to combine.
• Drop tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets; flatten gently.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; lightly grease (or line with parchment paper) two baking sheets.
• In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar, oil, water, egg, pudding mix, vanilla, salt, and baking powder together until smooth.
• Add in the flour and nuts; beat until everything is well combined; the dough will be stiff.
• Roll or scoop the dough into chestnut-sized balls; roll them in granulated sugar, if desired and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a 1-2 inch space between.
• Press the cookies down gently with the bottom of a drinking glass, dipped in sugar if necessary to prevent sticking.
• Bake for 15 minutes, until they are just barely beginning to brown around the edges and are golden brown on the bottom.
• Remove them from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
