Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons cappuccino-flavored instant coffee mix
(dry)
1 tablespoon water
3/4 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped pistachio nuts
1 ounce semisweet baking chocolate or white baking bar
1 teaspoon shortening
Heat oven to 350. Dissolve coffee mix in water in medium bowl. Add
butter and powdered sugar. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed
until creamy, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour and nuts, using hands if
necessary, until stiff dough forms.
Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball. Pat each ball into
6-inch round, about 1/2 inch thick, on lightly floured surface. Cut each
round into 16 wedges. Arrange wedges about 1/2 inch apart and with
pointed ends toward center on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 15
minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet
to wire rack. Cool completely.
Place chocolate and shortening in small microwavable bowl. Microwave
uncovered on Medium (50%) 3 to 4 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes,
until mixture can be stirred smooth and is thin enough to drizzle.
Drizzle over cookies.
