Pistachio Pavés (pah VAY)

The special buttery and mildly exotic flavor of pistachio nuts is usually lost in a cookie, but these crescents are an exception because the dough is rolled in chopped pistachios. The pavés are literally paved with the lovely green nut. The pistachio lover will be yours for life if you make these cookies! And they are a good option for those who haven’t the time or inclination to make a celebration cake for Mother’s Day.
