Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 egg
1 tbsp half-and-half cream
1 tsp lemon extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
1 tsp water
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, cream and extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and water. In another bowl, combine the pistachios, lemon peel and remaining sugar.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch leaf-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Brush with the egg yolk mixture; sprinkle with the pistachio mixture.
Bake at 350-degrees for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are set (do not brown). Remove to wire racks to cool.
