Vanilla Mug Cookies with Pistachios

5070 Min

Simple, crumbly mug cookies best enjoyed with a cup of coffee. Cut in a slit so you can balance them on the edge of your mug! Topped with chopped pistachios, these cookies really look something special. The vanilla adds a distinctive taste to the natural sweetness of the sugar.
