pistachio kisses
(1 rating)
I wanted to try a Pistachio cookie forever. They are one of my favorite nuts and I mean, chocolate, who can resist. This cookie isn't overly sweet so you can play with the Kisses a little. I used the large Hazelnut Kisses (which made these cookies mondo), but the reality was the hazelnut was lost in the pistachio. I am going to try them with a Dark Chocolate Kiss as I like the slightly sweet aspect of the cookie.
