If you can get the traditional sugar cookie idea out of your mind, these cookies are kind of fun. The pistachio flavor is hardly noticeable. The salt in the Bisquick is what catches your attention. Like others, I added 2T of white sugar to the recipe. I also used 10X to cover my rolling surface. By the time I got to the end of my batch, I was rolling the dough into a ball, rolling it in 10X, then used my rolling pin. Even after chilling for a few hours, the dough was stickier than most sugar cookies I've made. All in all, it was another fun cookie to make with my kids. The flavor is not great, but the color is festive, for sure.

I’m planning the St. Patrick’s Day party for my daughter’s class. I can’t wait to make these..they will be a hit with the kids! I found some cello candy bags from Box and Wrap that have shamrocks on the bags….so cute. It’s the extra special touches that make the party great. Thanks so much for the recipe.

I like my cookies to be sweet and these were no where close to sweet. They were so salty that I couldn't even enjoy them. Even with frosting they still weren't "good" cookies.

Tasty cookie, love the pistachio flavor, and that they are so easy to make. Next time I would add another tablespoon or two of sugar and use unsalted butter, although maybe just the addition of a bit more sugar would balance the saltiness. I rolled them out using a bit of baking mix instead of flour, and had no trouble at all!

Very good I did take others advice and I put in 2 tablespoons of white sugar. I didn't roll the dough I did put in the fridge for 10 mins and used a cookie scoop and dipped a glass in sugar to flaten the dough. I got 16 cookies when I did it this way out of the batch.

These cookies are absolutely delicious and the first "rolled out" cookies I have made in years. I had a shamrock cookie cutter and wanted to make cookies for my grandchildren and picked this recipe. Didn't change a thing and I couldn't believe how easy the dough was to work with. Thank you MBMCD for submitting a great recipe.

too cute - going to make a trial batch this weekend (hesitant on the pistachio mix). If it's a hit with the roommates might make more for the party wednesday night!!!

I followed the recipe, and the cookies were UNROLLABLE even after I chilled the dough for 2 hours (I got the tip for chilling from one of the other reviews which I decided to do b/c the dough was so STICKY). When the cookies were ready to eat, the first thing out of mine and my husband's mouth was, BUTTER!! They had no flavor other than the butter flavor :( VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED...

I thought these were great and so did the friends and family I made them for. I did add 1 tablespoon of sugar as many recommended. Otherwise they came out great and were easy to make. Did anyone else frost them?? I frosted some and they were good and of course a bit sweeter.
