Greek Pistachio Cake Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 oz) box pistachio cake mix
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 teaspoons Feed Trough Starter™ Greek

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachio cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and Feed Trough Starter™ Greek. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon), scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  4. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers.
  5. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are no longer glossy. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes: Approximately 24 cookies

YUM PIG Tip 🐷

The bright herbs and warm spices in Feed Trough Starter™ Greek add an unexpected gourmet twist to sweet pistachio cookies. The result is a soft, chewy cookie with a delicate Mediterranean-inspired flavor that's delicious alongside a cup of YUM PIG Campfire or House Blend Coffee.
