I've been making these for over 20 years. A must have on my cookie platter every Christmas for they're a family favorite (and great any time of year). Very easy to make, colorful and tasty. People will think you've work very hard in the kitchen (we'll never tell). This recipe can easily be doubled (which I always do), and baked cookies freeze very well.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your pistachio Christmas ribbon bars turn out delicious and flavorful.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the bars. This will help them to bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
