Time 1h45m

Yield 100

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 (3 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
1 teaspoon shortening

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, dry pudding mix, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Cover dough, and refrigerate for at least one hour for easier handling.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into finger shapes, about 1 1/2 inches long. Place cookies on prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 9 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until set and very lightly browned on bottoms. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • In small saucepan over low heat, melt together chocolate and shortening, stirring constantly until smooth and well blended. Drizzle a small amount of chocolate over each cookie. Allow the chocolate to set before storing.
