AMAZING!!!! I made them with my 6 year old and we had fun doing it. It was easy, and they were sooooo good. I have made 3 batches since then.

I was skeptical to try these, but thought that many reviews can't be worng. I added 1 tsp of vanilla to the batter and some extra pistachios. They were so good We ate the whole batch. I am now on batch 3 ...we've eaten them all and I have none for my gift boxes. Try them you will be surprised.

This was very easy to make...I cheated and use a sugar cookie mix, but everyone loved them and they've been asking for more since I first made them at christmas!!
