Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Thanks for a the great comments on my last post. Seems you're all pretty passionate about preserving old homes, though it can be tough!
Today I bring you lemon pistachio cookies (Donna Hay or Martha Stewart, I think). Melt. In. Mouth. I think I've eaten the equivalent to 4 cookies in raw cookie dough alone. I should put the brakes on that.
Lemon Pistachio Cookies - makes about 30
10 1/2 oz (300g) butter, softened
3 tblsp berry/caster sugar (ultra fine)
5 1/4 oz (150g) roughly chopped pistachios
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tblsp lemon rind
icing sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 350f/180c. Place butter and sugar in bowl and beat with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, until light and creamy. Add pistachios and beat for 2 more minutes. Fold in flour and lemon rind until well combined (try not to eat dough at this point!). Roll spoonfuls of dough into balls, place on baking sheet lined with baking paper, and flatten slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool on wire rack then dust with icing sugar. Eat up!
Because I can't be trusted with these, I will give a jar to my sister.
Have a lovely day!

Oh my...I am always hungry after I come to visit you! Thanks for this delicious recipe.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
I love to cook however the talent of baking eludes me but have to say that 'Baked On Monday' is not, for me, about the tasty recipes or the exquisite photographs. It's a welcome visit with a warm & cozy feeling, one that is as much remembering as it is wishful thinking. arvi
These look great. I love the idea of a jar full of cookies.
Every recipe you post makes me want to go and bake. The photos do it. Like the fabric footer in your collage. And cookies in a teacup!
gorgeous images - love the look of these. they look totally delish!
Sounds absolutely delicious! Oh - and your photo's are beautiful!
Yum! They look delish!

Ahhh, delicious! Love pistachios! I would have to give them away for safety, too! XO!

Oh they make my mouth water, there's nothing better than homemade treats =)
