to increase my contributions to this blog and further develop my culinary skills, i have decided to attempt a new recipe each week... this week: lemon pistachio snaps. i have been kind of in love with pistachios lately, so it was a good fit. this recipe came from my best of bridge cookbook.
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
in a large mixing bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt
3/4 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. white sugar
1 large egg
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
using a mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. beat in egg. add lemon zest and juice. blend in dry ingredients and combine thoroughly. wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 hr.
1/3 c. finely chopped pistachio nuts
3 tbsp sugar
in small bowl combine nuts and sugar
finely chopped pistachio nuts
shape dough into 1" balls and roll in pistachio sugar mixture. place 2" apart on greased baking sheet
press cookies down with small glass to flatten sightly. bake 350F 10-12min until golden
makes 5 dozen! enjoy!
