So Yummy Pistachio Cookies

• 12 cup butter
• 12 cup sugar
• 14 cup vegetable oil
• 14 cup water
• 1 large egg
• 2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages instant pistachio pudding mix
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 14 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 12 cup chopped pistachio nut (optional)
• granulated sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350; lightly grease (or line with parchment paper) two baking sheets.
2. In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar, oil, water, egg, pudding mix, vanilla, salt, and baking powder together until smooth.
3. Add in the flour and nuts; beat until everything is well combined; the dough will be stiff.
4. Roll or scoop the dough into chestnut-sized balls; roll them in granulated sugar, if desired and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a 1- 2 inch space between.
5. I use a 1 1/2 inch diameter cookie scoop to yield about 3 doz.
6. Cookies.
7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until they are just barely beginning to brown around the edges and are light brown on the bottom.
8. Remove them from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
