Pistachio Cake Mix Cookies

By srumbel

They are soft and chewy and have a perfect pistachio and almond flavor. Creamy white chocolate chips are a perfect addition. I was thinking marshmallows might be delicious too! These were a hit in my house.

Ingredients

• 1 white cake mix
• 1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 c. vegetable oil
• 3/4 tsp. almond extract, opt.
• a few drops green food coloring, opt
• 1 1/2 c. white chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cake mix and pudding mix. Add the eggs, oil, almond extract and green food coloring. Mix the best you can using a hand mixer. If batter is too stiff, finish mixing with a wooden spoon. Stir in 1 cup of the white chocolate chips. Roll dough into 1'' - 1 1/2'' balls and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press 2 or 3 white chocolate chips into the top of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Tops will be cracked and outside will be very slightly browned. Yield: about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

Jenn's Notes: The dough is pretty greasy, but it tastes perfect once baked. I added four drops of green food coloring. I refrigerated my dough overnight and my cookies were done at 12-13 minutes.
