Since they were in a little book featuring all Christmas cookies I thought they'd be extra special, but they were just kind of a green dense dough with big chocolate chips in them......not tasting like pistachios at all. I think that big 8 oz. bar of cream cheese had something to do with the poor texture. I'll avoid making cookies in the future that have so much cream cheese in them.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"","GUID":"dcc70bcf53fe475fb12b086a06a651c8","MemberId":998755,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"vewebber58","SubmittedDate":"12\/13\/2013 06:05"},{"Comment":"

I was really looking forward to making these cookies. I followed the recipe exactly, even chilling the dough. I had to bake them atleast 5 minutes more before they started turning brown. They don't spread out or flatten any more than the way you press them down. They came out soft and moist but just don't have any taste. I sprinkled them with powdered sugar to add some flavor. They could have used some chopped nuts. My husband really liked them but he eats anything. I get so depressed when these new recipes I try don't taste good especially after all the time and effort put into it. I'm going to stick to my old favorites from now on.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/25\/2012 15:15","GUID":"54C7628AE9964B49BE6D6A2032CED9AA","MemberId":239571,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"ThePurpleLady","SubmittedDate":"11\/25\/2012 15:14"},{"Comment":"

I love pistachio pudding and was excited to try this recipe. I thought the flour ratio was pretty high at first glance but I followed the recipe anyways. These cookies were very bland and desperately needed salt. Also, they came out like hockey pucks and I flattened them before placing them in the oven. Extremely disappointed.

This is a soft cookie but certainly not playdoh in texture. I baked them at 375 for 12 min. I think the DARK chocolate chips(not semi-sweet)add great flavor. I'm not a white chocolate fan, to me it is not chocolate at all. I found the dough to be hard to handle and shape into uniform cookies, therefore, the cookies are not very attractive, not a great addition to a cookie plate. Taste is fine so I'd probably make them again.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/09\/2011 14:51","GUID":"b768a2fc35234a66b7abb02c19e9d90d","MemberId":2865031,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"kayesandra","SubmittedDate":"12\/09\/2011 14:51"},{"Comment":"

I thought these would be a good cookie to make for Saint paddys week- Not exceptional sort of blah tasting. IF I made these again I would omit the vanilla and add almond extract to go better with the pudding flavor. They are a soft mild cookie- my daycare kids ate them no problem- they just were not worth the calories for me.

Super easy cookies to make. I use mini chips and chopped up some pistachio nuts as well and the only complaint my family had was that they were too small! I did raise the temp of my oven to 375 and extend cooking time to 12 -15 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"12\/01\/2010 17:46","GUID":"4fc2b0c466214ac98d4dd1432a16e1f7","MemberId":5647883,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"loriemay","SubmittedDate":"12\/01\/2010 17:46"},{"Comment":"

Love these minty green cookies! I did not chill the dough, but dropped them from a spoon onto the greased cookie sheet. I will say that my oven required more than the 10-12 min baking time .. more like 15-20 mins until they were golden brown on the bottom. It was hard to tell when they were done. I also used white choc chips, but they were delicious. My 16yo son even ate them!<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"11\/30\/2010 21:01","GUID":"d56e7796826240289ecdc6275a0ac23d","MemberId":5587550,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Emmes","SubmittedDate":"11\/30\/2010 21:01"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51603,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
