Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat butter till creamy, add sugar and mix well. Add egg, beat well. Add almond extract, lemon zest lemon juice and cardamon. Mix till combined. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking powder. Slowly add to wet mixture. Stir in pistachios. Shape dough to about 1 inch balls, give or take a pinch for tasting! Add extra pistachios on the top for flair if you want. Bake for 10 minutes or until very lightly browned.
DO NOT OVER BAKE. Cool on a rack and enjoy.
If given away , only give them eleven instead of a full dozen, in the true spirit of the Grinch. (Add a couple drops of food color to wet mixture if you want really green cookies)
