PISTACHIO THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies image

I love to bake and I am always looking for something different. I found this recipe a few years ago and they are a hit. These cookies are a little different from the usual thumbprint but everywhere I take these, people love them - even my 3 and 5 year old grandsons!
