Pistachio Shortbread Cookies

We lately shared a recipe for Pecan Sandies together with were thence thrilled amongst the texture together with taste, nosotros had to brand them again using pistachios together with but a few minor tweaks.   I couldn’t resist making but about other version peculiarly later I establish a purse of pistachios hiding inward the pantry.  As you lot know, nuts don’t final forever thence of class it was the correct matter to do.  I couldn’t hold off to run into how the petty light-green pistachios looked against the tender buttery cookie dough amongst the sugary crust.  These Pistachio Shortbread Cookies were a large hitting together with barely lasted 24 hours.    Twenty-four cookies inward 24 hours … you lot tin create the math!  Just kidding!  We shared but about … a few … mayhap iii 🙂

 

 

This dough is practically perfect inward every way.  It’s non at all greasy, crumbly or sticky.  It rolls up beautifully together with later a few hours inward the refrigerator, all you lot accept to create is piece together with bake.  Look at all those vanilla beans!  The Pecan Sandies were brushed amongst a beaten egg yolk together with rolled inward Turbinado Sugar.  These cookies were brushed amongst a lightly beaten egg white together with rolled inward coarse white saccharide for a lighter look.  Both processes operate dandy for these cookies.

 

I would dear to experiment with the dough as a crust in a minor tart.  If the nuts are finely ground, this would live pretty slow to press into a pan.

 

 

It was difficult but I resisted the urge to add together chopped dried cherries or white chocolate chips.  The unproblematic buttery cookies amongst vanilla beans together with toasted nuts have more than plenty flavour for me.
