Total Time1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 7 tbsp (100 gr) salted butter, room temperature
  • 6 tbsp (75 gr) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (130 gr) cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup (100 gr) roasted pistachios, roughly chopped

Topping

  • 1 tbsp raw pistachios, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add egg and vanilla. Beat the mixture until well combined.
  • Sift in cake flour and baking powder. Beat on low speed just until combined. Don't overmix.
  • Add chopped roasted pistachios and mix with a spatula until well combined.
  • Chill for 30 minutes to let the dough firm up.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300℉/150℃. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mat.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Arrange the balls onto the prepared pan, leaving about 2 1/2 inch/6.5 cm of space between the cookies.
  • Flatten the dough ball with a fork. Make sure the flattened dough still has at least 1 inch/2.5 cm of space between because the cookies will spread during baking. Sprinkle with chopped raw pistachios on top.
  • Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Transfer the cookies immediately onto a cooling rack and cool them completely before transferring them into an airtight container.
