These are tender and delicately flavored cookies - the light green color and chocolate drizzle make them stand out on a cookie tray. Nice for holidays or bridal showers. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup white sugar |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 (3 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate |
1 teaspoon shortening |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, dry pudding mix, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Cover dough, and refrigerate for at least one hour for easier handling.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into finger shapes, about 1 1/2 inches long. Place cookies on prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until set and very lightly browned on bottoms. Cool completely on a wire rack.
4. In small saucepan over low heat, melt together chocolate and shortening, stirring constantly until smooth and well blended. Drizzle a small amount of chocolate over each cookie. Allow the chocolate to set before storing.
