Hi Ginger,

I have doubts that this is the recipe you're looking for. I think these will spread a little when baking. If the recipe you're looking for doesn't turn up, you can try using pistachios in a Mexican Wedding Cookie recipe and adding a few drops of green food coloring.

Happy Holiday Baking!
