Ingredients

The following ingredients have 21 Servings
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios (roasted and lightly salted)
  • lemon curd, fruit jam, Nutella, etc.

Instruction

  • Add butter, powdered sugar, and salt to the bowl of a large food processor. Process until smooth (about eight 1-second pulses). Add flour and pulse until mixture looks crumbly and chunky (about six 1-second pulses). Add pistachios and quickly pulse about 4 more times so that the pistachios are incorporated but not further chopped.
  • Turn the dough out onto a work surface and shape into a rough ball. Cut ball in half and form each piece of dough into an 8-inch long log. Tightly wrap each log in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove one log of dough from the freezer. Cut dough into 1/4-inch thick slices, rolling log every few slices to maintain the round shape of the cookies. Arrange cookies on lined baking sheet. Bake until cookies just barely turn a light golden color around the edges, between 10 and 15 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets.
  • Repeat steps with the second log of cookie dough. Once cookies are completely cool, store in an airtight container.
