St. Patty's Pistachio Pudding Cookies

Looking for a fun "green" dessert to get you ready for St. Patrick's Day? These St. Patty's Pistachio Pudding Cookies are a great treat to surprise the little leprechauns in your life.
Here's what you need: pistachio pudding mix, baking mix (like Bisquick), egg, margarine or unsalted butter, sugar, mini chocolate chips, green food coloring and sprinkles (not pictured)
Start by mixing the softened pudding and butter together. Then add in the egg, baking mix, sugar and green food coloring, if you wish. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
Roll into small dough balls and dip into colored sugar, placing dough (with the sugared side up) on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Bake in preheated oven until edges start to turn a little golden, about 10-12 minutes.
St. Patty's Pistachio Pudding Cookies

1 small box Instant Pistachio Pudding (3.4 oz)
1 stick softened margarine or butter (preferably unsalted, as there is plenty of salt content in the pudding and baking mixes)
1 1/3 cup baking mix
2-3 Tbsp. sugar
1 egg
green food coloring
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
green colored sugar or sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheet or line with parchment paper or baking mat. Cream together the butter and pudding mix. Then add in the baking mix, sugar and egg and thoroughly combine, adding in green food coloring if desired. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Roll dough into small balls and dip into the colored sugar. Place on the baking sheet with the sugared side up, slightly flattening the dough. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges become slightly golden. Allow to cool completely on wire rack.
I used margarine for this batch because that's what I had on hand. I'll be making these again soon with butter to compare the two cookies. I did like the texture of these and the nutty flavor from the pistachio pudding was nice too. All my kids needed to know was that there were chocolate chips in the cookies and they were sold. Although, they told me I should have added more chips. Kids these days, I tell ya...
