Pistachio Cookies image

This recipe was published in "Treasury of Holiday Cookies", one of those cook booklets you get at the grocery. It caught my attention due to the pistachio farm that we frequent in NM. They sell wonderful pistachio cookies. I haven't made this as yet, but plan to for the holidays. The recipe in the book calls for ¼ cup freshly ground nutmeg; however, I felt that might be a tad overpowering. I did adjust the nutmeg to ¼ to ½ teaspoon. Feel free to use more if needed.

These cookies are way too expensive for what you get. I could have made a better batch of cookies at home for a fraction of the price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they were more moist.

I found the pistachio flavor to be a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.
