LEMON PISTACHIO COOKIES

2 Cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 Cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 Cup plus 3 Tbs. sugar, divided
1 Large egg
1 Tbs. lemon zest, grated
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1/3 Cup pistachio nuts, finely chopped

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

Cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, mixing
until just combined. Add lemon zest and juice. Blend in dry ingredients, mix
to thoroughly combine. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for 1 hour.

Combine pistachio nuts and remaining sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into
1-inch balls. Roll balls in pistachio-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on
ungreased baking sheets. Press cookies down with a small glass to flatten
slightly. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Transfer to racks to cool.
