Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh, unsalted pistachios, crushed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Mix in the Pistachios: Gently fold in the crushed pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of cookie dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: While the cookies bake, make the pistachio cream filling by mixing softened butter, powdered sugar, and ground pistachios until smooth.
- Assemble the Cookies: Once cooled, spoon cream onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently.
- Finishing Touch: Dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle crushed pistachios on top for presentation.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a better dough consistency and don’t skip chilling to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
