How to Make Watergate Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugar until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios and green food coloring until evenly distributed. (Start with less food coloring and add more to achieve your desired shade of green.)
- Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
