List of Ingredients




1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup confectioner?s sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup unsalted shelled pistachios, chopped

Glaze:
1/2 cup white baking chips

For Tops:
chopped pistachios (optional)

Heat oven to 325F.

Combine flour, powdered sugar and cornstarch in medium bowl. Set aside.

Beat butter in large bowl at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture. Beat until well mixed. (Dough will be crumbly.) Stir in 1/2 cup pistachios by hand.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls with floured hands, if necessary. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until set and lightly browned around edges. Cool completely.

Glaze:
Meanwhile, place baking chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) power until softened (1 to 2 minutes). Stir until smooth. Place melted chips in small resealable plastic food bag. Snip 1/8-inch off one corner of bag.

Drizzle glaze onto cooled cookies. Top with chopped pistachios, if desired.

VARIATION:
Omit white baking chips. Follow directions for mixing and baking cookies as above. Immediately roll cookies in powdered sugar. When cool, roll cookies again in powdered sugar.
