How to make Pistachio Cookies

In the mixing bowl of stand mixer with pedal attachment add butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed for a few minutes untill light and fluffy. Add egg and pistachio paste. Beat again undill all combined. Add flour mixture and mix with the stapula. Add chopped pistachios and mix untill all combined.

Using icecream scoop or regular spoon, scoop balls of dough on prepared baking sheet. Add pistachios on top of the ball and press lightly with the fingers. Bake cookies at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few mimutes then remove them to a cooling rock to cool completely.

How to store cookies

Store Pistachio cookies in air-tight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. You can also freeze cookies for up to two month.

Tips for making Pistachio cookies

The dough for these cookies can be made ahead and refrigerated for few hours or overnight.
Use roasted pistachios for this recipe. You can buy raw pistachios and roast them in the oven at 350F for 3-5 minutes. As soon as you can smell pistachios, they are roasted. You can transfer them to a bowl. Do not leave them on the baking sheet as they still will be roasting and can burn.
If you do not have pistachio paste, you can pulse rosted pistachios in the food processor untill paste consistensy.
