Blarney Stones

Teresa Ambra
Blarney Stones are absolutely mouthwatering. These lovely cookies have a little bit of the Irish in them with pistachio pudding mix, pecans, almond extract and butterscotch chips. They're great for holiday baking including Christmas Cookie Exchanges and St. Patrick's Day. We also enjoy them for potlucks, tailgating parties and any time we want to cure a sweet tooth craving.
