Winter Tea Time
Posted

It's cold and snowy today, so I dug through my notes and books to find a decent recipe to go with a hot cup of tea.
Thanks to "Afternoon Tea Serenade" from Menus & Music, I chose the following which originated from the Four Seasons Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington:
Pistachio Cookies
1 C butter, room temperature
Cream the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour and ground pistachios until well blended; cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a thickness of 1/8" (3 mm). Cut into 2" (5-cm) rounds, and bake in the center of the preheated oven for eight to ten minutes or until set but not browned. Let the cookies cool before removing them from the pan. Recipes makes four dozen small cookies.
Wilbert gave me a 2.5-pound container of cashews for Valentine's Day (bless his heart). Since I don't have enough pistachios on hand, I'm going to make the recipe using finely ground cashews instead.
