Amazing tasting cookies. Made even lighter with Splenda. Baked on a sheet lined with parchment paper and they came out perfect! Thanks for sharing zori. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011.

Great little cookies. I used toasted sliced almonds instead of pistachios. The taste is very good to be healthy like that. Thanks zori :) made for Alphabet chef tag game
