Pistachio Cream Cheese Fingers

These cute little pastel green fingers taste amazing.

These Pistachio Cream Cheese Fingers are rich and moist with cream cheese and chocolate. They are a fun shape and are a hit at parties. Best of all, they are easy to make.

This is another delicious dessert I served at my beauty salon's Customer Appreciation Nights. These events were full of food and fun, I tell ya. See my previous post for my yummy Apple Strudel Bars, which were also served at these beauty events.

Add the vanilla and egg;beat well. Set aside.
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off and pour into a medium bowl.
Add the dry pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Add the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture; mix well.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour for easier handling.

Drizzle a small amount of chocolate over each cookie and let set up completely before transferring.
