Tasty Treats Tuesday

Greetings from the UP!  It is a crazy blizzard here and everything is covered with mounds of snow!  When I'm at home I like to bake on snowy days, so today we baked a favorite cookie recipe that I found on Pinterest and shared before on Facebook:  Pistachio-Cranberry Cookies!  These are so delicious and so easy to make.  They are perfect for Christmas (since they are festive colors), but yummy anytime!  Actually, since they are green, they could be fun for St. Patrick's Day!

 

Ingredients:

-Sugar Cookie Mix

-Box of Pistachio Pudding

-1/4 cup flour

 

-1/2 cup melted butter

-2 eggs

 

-dried cranberries (or craisins)

-shelled pistachios (whole or chopped)

 

Mix the dry ingredients together.  Then add the wet ingredients.  Fold in the cranberries and pistachios (as much or as little as you want - about a 1/2 cup of each is good.)

Bake for 8-10 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Eat and enjoy!

 

 

 

I'm also excited to share my Favorite things post this week, although I may have to post it early, since I'll be driving back to Fond du Lac on Friday.  And I'll try to post pictures of this crazy snow storm!  It's nuts!  Until next time...
