Day 4: 25 Days of Christmas – Cookie Style
From appearance, these cookies look like they would be difficult to make. The most difficult part is un-shelling the pistachio nuts! Thanks to Betty Crocker for this inspiration! Plus, my taste testers gave this recipe two thumbs up.

Tip #1: Trust the cooking time. The cookies won’t look done, but you do not want to over bake them. You want them to stay green (not brown) and have a soft texture.
Tip #2: Variation — Add 1 cup of White Chocolate Chips to the batter -or- sprinkle with Bright White Sparkling Sugar.
