Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, blend the butter and powdered sugar; cream well.
  2. Add the egg and blend well.
  3. Reduce mixer speed to low; add the flour and salt and mix well.
  4. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  5. Heat oven to 350*F.
  6. Place the pistachios in a small bowl. Shape dough into 1/2 balls; roll each in the pistachios and place 1 apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in granulated sugar.
  7. Bake 7-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned; transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely.
  8. Meanwhile, make the filling: blend the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and enough half-and-half to achieve desired spreading consistency. Stir in the pistachios and a few drops of green food coloring, if desired.
  9. Spread the bottoms of half the cookies with a scant teaspoons filling; top with remaining cookies, bottom side down.
