Total Time
40 min
Ingredients
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Rice Krispies {I used vanilla flavored}
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 cups of chocolate chips {enough to melt and roll the truffles in. You can always add more if needed}
- Sprinkles! {Red, green, silver, gold; so festive}
Instructions
- Mix together the powdered sugar, peanut butter, Rice Krispies and melted butter in a large bowl.
- Once mixed, melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler. Make sure you’re constantly stirring the chocolate chips to get the perfect consistently.
- Let the rolling and dipping begin!
- Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet
- Sprinkle with red and green sprinkles :)
- Pop them in the fridge {or outside} for a solid hour-ish
- ENJOY! ;)
Notes
- ** For the rolling, I roll the truffle in my hand, then pop it into the chocolate, using a spoon I roll it around. Once it's covered I quickly spoon it out and onto the cookie sheet it goes. **
- **Okay this recipe makes a TON, so half it or make the full amount and freeze some for future use :)**

Yields 24
Most talked about cookie recipe I’ve ever made. These are the cookies that please EVERYONE!!
Prep Time
15 min
Cook Time
10 min
Total Time
25 min
Ingredients
- 1 Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Package
- 1 Pistachio pudding Jell-O Mix Package
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Mix the cookie package, pudding package together
- Add in the eggs and melted butter
- Mix it up girl
- Fold in the cranberries, pistachios and white chocolate chips
- Drop rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. They will look underdone when you remove from the oven but TRUST ME, the one way you can ruin these is by over baking them
- Let them sit on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes
- SERVE. Make sure you save some for Santa. Little trick to get those Stuart Weitzman suede knee highs you’ve been swooning over.
Notes
- Instead of shelled pistachios, I have even used a Maui Mix which included macadamia, walnuts and almonds too. Basically any fav nut works if you can't find those pistachios!
