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 king arthur unbleached 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 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 the creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
In a small bowl, beat egg yolks and water. In another bowl, combine pistachios, lemon peel and remaining sugar.
