Cook’s Note – Cranberry Pistachio Pudding Cookies:
- The only way you can ruin these cookies is to overbake them! If you bake them too long you will lose the soft texture and they won’t be as green.
- Cookies stored in an airtight container will keep for about 5-7 days.

These look really good! I want to try, but maybe substitute the green food coloring with a tablespoon or so of matcha tea powder.
