Expert Tips

Place food directly on Reynolds® Parchment Paper and bake as directed. Treats will bake evenly and release from paper with ease. Plus, because you're baking right on the paper, clean-up is a breeze.

For even baking, make sure cookies are of the same shape and size.

You can find shelled pistachios in the nuts-for-snacking section of your grocery store.

    I made these for a cookie party at work and decided to only use 1/2 cup of pistachios because I added 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. They turned out so chewy and delicious! Everyone loved them, and they look so pretty!

    I made these two years ago as christmas gifts (along with other cookies from the BC cookie mix cookbook I got at the checkout stand) and they were such a hit that I got a request to make them again this year. I used craisins and shelled my own pistachios and just rough chopped both. I think I will try using green food coloring and drizzling white chocolate over them to make them look more festive this year. I am also interested in trying this recipe with other pudding flavors as someone suggested! Definitely a great recipe!!

    I have been making these cookies for several years now and I use Michigan dried cherries and they are wonderful and everyone we give them to always ask me to make them again. They are so moist and tasty.
