Time 1h15m

Yield 53 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1 large egg
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages instant pistachio pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2-2/3 cup chopped pistachio nut
granulated sugar

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.
