Here they are!

I promised. Here is the recipe for the lemon cookies I made the other night, complete with pictures thanks to my stolen batteries....
The recipe makes 4 dozen...if you get less than that it is becauseyou have been eating the dough.

Lemon Pistachio Cookies
4 dozen

1 stick butter (or half butter/ half crisco)
1 1/4 c sugar
1 egg
1 c chopped pistachios or macadamias
1 c white chocolate chunks or chips
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
grated rind of one lemon
1/4 c lemon juice

cream butter, sugar, and egg until smooth..add lemon juice and mix well.
stir dry ingredients together with lemon rind and add thoroughly to butter mixture. FOld in white chocolate and pistachios. Chill for 15-20 minutes.
Drop heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on a silpat or parchment covered baking sheet. bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until just done and just turning color. Cool before storing.
These will fall apart whent hey are warm..They firm on setting.

melt 1/4 c butter, and add 2 TBS lemon juice. Add enough confectioners sugar to make a thick frosting and spread on warm cookies.

These taste like lemonaide on the veranda. No, not like it was spilled...I mean you could close your eyes and pretend to be a genteel southern belle relaxing on the verabda on a hot summer day..even in November. They disappeared within hours. I think the kids got one or two..and maybe Marc did...but you know, sometimes it's every man for himself...
