Cappuccino-Pistachio Shortbread

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F.

In bowl, dissolve coffee in water.

Stir in margarine and powdered sugar.

Stir in flour and ½ cups of the nuts, using hands if necessary, until stiff dough forms. Divide dough in half.

Shape each half into a ball.

Pat each ball into 6-inch round, about ½ inch thick, on lightly floured surface.

Cut each round into 16 wedges.

Arrange wedges on ungreased cookie sheet about ½ inch apart with pointed ends toward center.

Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Immediately remove from cookie sheet.

Cool completely on wire rack.

Place remaining ½ cup nuts in small dish.

Place chocolate and shortening in microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on medium (50 percent) 3 to 5 minutes, stir after 2 minutes, until mixture can be stirred smooth and is drizzling consistency.

Dip 1 edge of each cookie into chocolate, then into nuts.
