Pistachio Shortbread Cookies image

I made up these cookies to serve for a St Patty's Day Dinner I am hosting. The combo of pistachios and lemon in this non-traditional shortbread is spectacular. These are really easy to make. The presentation is top notch. I am serving them with a cold lemon souffle that is baked in individual ramekins. I'll share that recipe...

I'm allergic to pistachios, so I substituted chopped walnuts in this recipe. The cookies turned out great! The walnuts added a nice crunch and nutty flavor.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the pistachio flavor was great. I think I would try using a different recipe next time.
