These cookies are so cute and festive! I made them for my kids' St. Patrick's Day party, and they were a huge hit. The pistachio flavor is mild, but it's definitely there. I'll definitely be making these again next year.

Disappointed. The cookies were dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad, but could use more pistachio flavor. Maybe I didn't add enough extract?
