      1/2   c            Butter
    1       c            Sugar
    1       lg           Egg
    1       t            Vanilla
    1 1/4   c            Sifted flour

      1/3   c            Finely chopped pistachios
 
    The whole kitchen will smell wonderful. These freeze well if tightly
   wrapped.
   
    In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until soft and fluffy; beat in egg
   and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture
   and mix well. Chill dough thoroughly.
   
    Preheat oven to 375ø. Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thick on lightly floured
   board. Cut with cookie cutters and arrange on ungreased cookie sheets.
   Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top; press down lightly.
   
    Bake at 375ø for about 5 minutes or until edges start to brown. Remove to
   wire racks to cool.
