Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120g) finely chopped pistachios
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 cup powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in the finely chopped pistachios ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  2. Shape the cookies: Using your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls, placing them about 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes or until the bottoms are just lightly golden and the cookies are set but not browned on top.
  4. Cool and dust with sugar: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, generously dust with additional powdered sugar for the classic wedding cookie appearance.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a tender dough.
  • Finely chop the pistachios for a better texture and uniformity in the cookies.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a more intense pistachio flavor, lightly toast the pistachios before chopping and adding to the dough.
  • Don’t overbake to keep the cookies soft and crumbly rather than hard and dry.
