PISTACHIO SHORTBREAD SANDWICHES
We tasted these melt-in-your-mouth morsels at a Christmas party several years ago, and I have since tweaked the recipe to include pistachios. The cookies disappear so quickly at parties, you just might have to watch the plate-and check the kids' pockets! -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario
