CHOCOLATE-PISTACHIO
STICKS
(Yield: 5 dozen)
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
½ cup finely chopped pistachios
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla
until light and fluffy. Beat in flour until blended.
Roll ¼-cupfuls of dough into 15-inch-long ropes, then cut each into
6 pieces. Place, 2-inches apart, on UNGREASED cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies feel firm. Remove from
cookie sheets; cool on a wire rack.
In a small glass bowl, combine chocolate morsels and oil. Place
over hot water and stir until chocolate melts. Place pistachios in
a small bowl.
Dip one end of each cookie into the chocolate and then into the pistachios.
