I used cut these cookies into tree shapes and used them as Christmas Cookies

 

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 (3 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix

1 1/3 cups baking mix

1 egg

1 tablespoon white sugar

 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease baking sheet.

Cream together the butter or margarine and the pudding mix. Blend in the baking mix, egg and sugar and mix well.

On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to 3/8 inch thickness and cut into cookies with a shamrock cookie cutter.

Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake at 350F for 9 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. Let cookies cool on rack. Frost with green colored icing and sprinkles. (optional)   Shamrock Cookies
