Hi,
I made these cutout cookies for our GF Cookie Exchange and especially for my
daughter who loved them.
HOLIDAY PISTACHIO COOKIES
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter (softened)
4 egg yolks
1 TBSP vanilla
2/3 cup pistachio nuts (finely chopped)
1 1/2 cup potato starch
2/3 cup corn starch
2/3 cup tapioca flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
In a large bowl, blend sugar and shortening. Add egg yolks and vanilla. Mix
flours, nuts, baking powder and salt together and add to first mixture. Work
dough into a ball with your hands. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate 1
hour.
Roll out dough on GF floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut in desired shapes
and transfer to parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake at 375 F. for 8 - 10 min.
Decorate with powdered sugar icing. (Makes 4 -5 dozen 2 inch cookies).
POWDERED SUGAR ICING
Mix 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 TBSP. milk or orange juice and 1 tsp.
vanilla. Stir in additional milk or juice 1 tsp. at a time until icing
reached piping consistency. (I added a little butter to this to make it a
little creamy.) Tint with food coloring if desired.
Enjoy
