Jackie asked for the recipe, so here it is - and I hope it's legal to share it:
Pistachio-Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Chop up enough pistachios to make 1/2 cup, and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 1 stick of butter and 3 ounces of cream cheese for a bit, till soft and mixed.
Add one cup of xxx sugar, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, and 1/4 tsp. salt, beating till combined.
Beat in one lg. egg and 1 tsp. vanilla thoroughly. Add 2 and a half cups of flour, 'tho it may be that you end up stirring it in if it gets too stiff. Add 2 tsps. orange or lemon peel, if you have it.
Divide dough in half, and roll into two logs approx. an inch and a half in diameter. Roll each in the pistachios, wrap in plastic and chill at least one hour.
Cut into 1/4 inch slices and bake on ungreased sheets 7 to 9 mins. at 375 degrees F. Makes 44 cookies. (which is exactly how many I got!)
