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 375?. 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 375? for about 5 minutes or until edges start to brown. Remove to
wire racks to cool.
