Pistachio Wedding Cookies
6:39 AM
Italian wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes, Mexican wedding buttons, whatever you want to call them, wedding cookies are my favorite. They are salty, butter, and sweet all at the same time. With such a huge flavor profile to live up to, they are not a low fat or healthy cookie by any means. But that's ok, sometimes we deserve to indulge. And if I'm going to indulge, these cookies are my favorite. These are so easy too!
1 1/2 sticks of room temperature butter
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 box pistachio instant pudding mix (3.4 ounces)
1 3/4 cup white flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Mix your butter and white sugar in a mixer until fluffy. Add vanilla, pudding mix, flour, and salt. My son loved this cookie mix because its eggless, so I actually let him lick the beater! Roll your dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour or longer.
Preheat oven to 350. Roll your dough into small 1 inch balls. Bake for 8 minutes. Wait for cookies to be warm, but not completely cool, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. If they are too hot when you sprinkle them with sugar the sugar will melt.
These cookies are beautiful and melt in your mouth perfection. Enjoy!
