Last week I was faced with a rather tough decision. The sensible part of me knew I HAD to sit down and finally do that pesky tax return. The overexcited, foodie part of me knew I just HAD to drop everything and make these pistachio bailey shortbread cookies with a chocolate baileys glaze all completed with some pistachio dust. Guess which part won?
I mean, it is Baileys pistachio shortbread cookies with a chocolate Baileys glaze. Do I need to say any more. They are buttery, crumbly, the right amount of sweet, with bites of pistachio and a baileys flavour in every little mouthful. These are going to be one of my go to treats for Christmas, Valentine’s Day and many other celebrations.
You know what? I think I will just make myself another batch of these shortbread cookies along some warming chai tea, lock myself away for a couple of hours, loose myself in excel spread sheets, invoices and get a handle on that tax return. Happy almost Christmas.
