- Add sugar, baking powder & salt, beating to cimbine & scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

- Using a wooden spoon or your hands, stir or knead in remaining flour & pistachio nuts.
- On lightly floured surface, divide dough into 3 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into an 8-inch-long loaf.
- Flatten loaves to about 2 1/2 inches wide, & place them at least 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet(s).
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown & tops are cracked. (Loaves will spread slightly.).
- Cool on cookie sheet for 30 minutes,
- When cooled, preheat oven to 325 degrees F, then transfer loaves to a cutting board to cut each loaf into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Place slices, cut sides down on previously used cookie sheet(s), & bake 8 minutes.
- Turn slices over & bake 8-10 minutes more or until dry & crisp.
- Transfer to wire rack & cool.
- FOR THE ICING ~ In a small mixing bowl, stir together sifted powdered sugar & 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
- Stir in enough lemon juice (or milk) to make icing of drizzling consistency.
- Either dip 1/4 of one end of each cookie into icing OR drizzle each with icing.
