A foodie in New Jersey Jan 31, 2005Would make this again.
These cookies were a hit with family and friends. I used only 1/2 a cup raspberry jam and added in fresh raspberrries (placed them on top of the jam). I also added some green food color to the dough to get a more festive color result (good green and red contrast). Not everyone could taste the pistachio nuts, so I might try a different nut next time...maybe hazelnuts or pecans (definitely one that comes already shelled since it takes quite some time to shell all those pistachio nuts).

Totally delicious! Men seemed to enjoy them most, it is now on our dessert list, I am going to try it with rasberry jam next.

Very good and simple to make. The hardest part was shelling the pistachios. Very buttery. Popular with guests.
