Pistachio Pudding Cookies

I am thrilled to have Aimee from Shugary Sweets here visiting today. Aimee has some amazing recipes on her blog! I always get so excited to see what she is baking up and posting. We have become friends through this whole crazy blogging experience and I can’t wait to meet her someday! I’ll let her take it away now :)

Hey Chef in Training friends! I’m so excited to be posting here on Nikki’s blog today! I have been following her since I started blogging, so it’s been fun to watch how much she has grown, and become friends with her through this blogging community!

My name is Aimee and you can find me over at Shugary Sweets. I tend to share my over indulgence in all things sweet, with the occasional snack or dinner idea thrown in!

When Nikki asked for us to share a cookie recipe, I thought it only fitting to share a pudding cookie recipe. After all, she is the pudding cookie queen! I’ve only begun making this type of cookie, but it’s clearly so versatile when you think about all the options available!

And the pudding keeps these cookies soft, forever…or until the last one gets eaten!

I added some Craisins and White Chocolate chips to mine, because I can. Red, White and Green screams Christmas to me!

Enjoy these delicious cookies! Thank you again Nikki for having me here!

    Well hi there Aimee - so nice to meet you. I"m a scratch baker, but there are few things in this world I like better than boxed pistachio pudding :). We're talking serious love here. And I couldn't agree with you more about the the cranberries and white chocolate chips - great additions. Pinning this yummy recipe - thanks for sharing it.

    I made these tonight and must say they are so good. My family doesn't care for craisins and I didn't have any pistachio's so I left them out and added simi sweet chocolate chips. They were easy and delicious. Thanks for posting this recipe!

    I just made these cookies over the weekend! They were soooo good. I am not the best baker and usually my family passes on my cookies, but they are asking for more of these! Thanks so much! :)
