Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Additional powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, chopped pistachios, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Once cooled, dust the cookies generously with powdered sugar.
