The original recipe has pecans, but I've substituted pistachios, added some green food coloring if you want, and almond extract. Good luck and let me know how they turn out.

Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until well blended. Beat in flour, then pistachios and coloring. Divide dough in half; form each half into ball. Wrap separately in plastic; chill until cold, about 30 minutes.<br />Preheat oven to 350°F. Working with half of chilled dough, roll dough by 2 teaspoonfuls between palms into balls. Arrange balls on heavy large baking sheet, spacing 1/2 inch apart. Bake cookies until golden brown on bottom and just pale golden on top, about 18 minutes. Cool cookies 5 minutes on baking sheet.
