PISTACHIO
BUTTER COOKIES
(Yield: 5 dozen)
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups self-rising flour
½ cup finely chopped pistachio nuts
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray cookie sheets with
non-stick vegetable spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg yolk, cream, and vanilla; beat until well blended. Stir in
flour until well blended. Spoon into a pastry bag fitted with a ¾-inch

cookie sheets. Sprinkle with nuts.
Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie
sheets; cool completely on a wire rack.
