These taste-tempting green pistachio cookies are the ideal Saint Patrick’s Day treat! Two secret ingredients, avocado and applesauce, keep all the taste and texture!
Ingredients
- ½ ripe avocado
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup applesauce (such as Mott's®)
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant pistachio pudding mix (such as Jell-O®)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup pistachio nuts
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Puree avocado in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and blend until creamy. Add applesauce, sugar, and milk; pulse to combine. Add egg; pulse until smooth. Add pudding mix, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt; pulse until dough is smooth and pastel green.
Step 3
Place pistachio nuts in a resealable freezer bag and crush with a meat mallet. Add crushed pistachio nuts and flour to dough; pulse to combine.
Step 4
Drop tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets; flatten gently.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets, 5 to 10 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Grease baking sheets lightly instead of lining with parchment paper, if preferred.
