Pistachio Pudding Sugar Cookies

I'm very excited because this week I'm putting together some goody trays to share with some of Travis' coworkers. Let the baking begin!

First up, is a recipe from a Taste of Home Cookie magazine. The are called pudding sugar cookies and you can use any kind of instant pudding mix for flavor. I decided to get crazy and go with pistachio. I love pistachio pudding and they were a fun and festive green!

These cookies turned out soft and moist. They will make an awesome addition to the platters!
