These cookies are the perfect blend of salty, sweet, and tangy, and they're Christmas colored to boot! Does it get any better than that?  Yes, yes it does. You can be eating these cookies within 30 minutes if you start now! 

The most time consuming part of this recipe was shelling the pistachios- and you could just buy them pre-shelled! I just had my boys work on it... they absolutely loved it (seriously! This is one of their new favorite activities that they request!) And it kept them quiet and busy for at least 20 minuets! (You just have to pay attention so they don’t eat all of them.)

These cookies went fast! We ate a few, dropped some off at a friend’s house, ate some more, and before I knew it, there was one left. And I hadn’t taken any pictures yet! So enjoy my single, sad, last cookie, and make some of your own!
