Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachio nut
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 -2 tbsp maraschino cherry juice

Directions:

  1. Combine butter, powdered sugar and egg and gradually beat in the flour and salt. Refrigerate dough for one hour. Preheat oven to 350* and shape dough into half inch balls. Roll each ball in the pistachio nuts and place on cookie sheet. Dip the bottom of a glass in the granulated sugar and flatten each cookie. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool on wire racks.
  2. Prepare filling by beating the powdered sugar, butter and vanilla. Add just enough cherry juice to make the filling smooth and creamy and the right consistency for spreading. Spread a cookie with 1 teaspoon of filling and top with another cookie, flat sides toward the inside of the cookie. If desired, spoon a dollop of frosting on the top of one side of the cookie and top with a maraschino cherry.
  3. (While this may look pretty, I personally think it may be too much and too sweet!).
  4. Prep time does not include chilling time.
