Cookies..with Pistachios! I had a slight problem..I didnt just devour them fictions..I devoured food along with it... Its a habit formed from childhood which I still cant shake off.. never mind the extra generous love handles I get a book to read.. Instinctively choose one to suit my mood.. Promptly climb into my bed (thats where I read.. or my couch with its side of gorgeous streaming sunlight,not exactly young..need the Light) And Open my Big Bad Pandora Box of ...COOKIES!! Its a ritual people. I dont mess with it. Daddylonglegs knows better than to mess with it.and the LittleMonkey copies mommy and does exactly the same. and of course doesnt dare to mess with it. Cookie off the old block I tell ya And thus came to existence these delicious, crumbly, wonderfully- filled- with- pistachio cookies..baked purely to feed my dirty-lil-food-eating-while-reading-habit! RECIPE : Yield:30 cookies 1 cup butter, room temperature 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 egg 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup pistachio nut, coarsely chopped Directions: Cream the butter and sugar together; add baking powder and nutmeg and mix well with electric mixer. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Stir in flour just until moist; fold in nuts taking care to not over mix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or damp cloth and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, flatten slightly with bottom of small glass.Use a cookie cutter for a shape of your choice..I used rectangle ones..Cut out the cookies.Sprinkle some pistachio slivers on top. Place 4 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets and bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely and enjoy. And thats how the cookie crumbles, Love, S :)
