This recipe makes enough for about eight dozen cookies so there should be plenty for everyone to enjoy. They take a while because the dough has to chill for about six hours and then they take about twelve to fifteen minutes to bake. They will smell so good, your mouth will be watering before you even taste them!
Let's Get Started!
The Ingredients To Gather:
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup shelled pistachio nuts
The Step By Step Directions To Follow:
1 Stir egg yolk, vanilla. Cut butter into a few chunks.
In food processor, combine flour, salt, sugar. Pulse just until mixed. Add butter, pulse just until mixture forms crumbs. Add yolk mixture. Pulse again, just until the dough forms large moist clumps.
2 Turn dough out onto counter, quickly gather the clumps together into a cohesive dough without overworking. Use bench scraper or a knife to cut the dough in half. Shape each half into a log that is 13-to-14-inches long, 3/4-inch wide, rolling them until they are smooth. Cut each log in half again to make 4 shorter logs.
3 Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread chopped nuts on the paper. Roll logs in nuts, pressing pistachios into dough so logs are coated.4 Wrap logs in plastic wrap, refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours.
5 Set oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut logs into 1/4-inch slices. Set them on parchment 1-inch apart.
6 Bake 12- 15 minutes, or until nuts begin to brown at the edges. They should be set and firm but not golden. Lift cookies, still on parchment paper, to wire racks to cool.
Finished!
