Ingredients
  

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

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the finely chopped pistachios.
  6. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into small balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, dust the cookies with additional powdered sugar.

Notes

  • These cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • To enhance the flavor, try adding a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon to the dough.
  • For a chocolate twist, dip half of each cookie in melted dark chocolate and let it set before serving.
