Pistachio Chocolate Chip Coconut Pecan M&M Cookie Cups!

Pistachio Chocolate Chip Pecan

Coconut M&M Cookie Cups!

Now that's..a mouthful!

I had never even heard about this recipe until about 10 years ago. We had a cookie bake-off at our church and I was in charge of finding the judges.

Our pastor's wife won the contest with

 Pistachio Cookies, which called for a cake mix and pudding. Everyone loved them!

She gave me the recipe and I just never got around to making them..I've been saying that a lot lately.

Well, it's time..and I decided to add some 

coconut, M&Ms and chocolate chips.

I had an extra bag of Christmas M&Ms which I've been saving so I could use the green ones for

St. Patty's Day. I have to say, these are pretty good.

Of course now I see there are lots of variations

of this recipe out there!

Here's what you'll need.

...................................................

......................................................

Combine the cake mix and Pistachio pudding.

 Add the oil..

 lightly beaten eggs, almond extract

and water, stirring to combine.

 I kinda wish I had used a little green food coloring

here..just to kick up the St. Patty's Day factor!

 Stir in half cup each

 pecans, coconut

 and chocolate chips.

 Roll one tablespoon of dough into ball and 

place in mini muffin cup.

I used a Wilton non-stick pan so I did 

not need to grease it.

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

  As soon as you remove the pan from the oven,

place about five candies on each cookie

pressing lightly.

This recipe made 49 cookie cups.

Combine cake mix with pudding.

Stir to combine. Then add the chips, 

coconut and nuts.

Roll into balls (1 tablespoon each) and

place into muffin tins.

Bake 10-12 minutes pressing M&Ms

I used a plastic picnic knife to gently 

lift the cookie cup out of the pan.
