Pistachio Biscuits 400g

Pistachio Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup (150g) pistachios (unsalted, shelled)
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg yolk
Optional: A pinch of cardamom for a warm, aromatic flavor
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Pistachios:
Place the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground, but not too powdery. Some small chunks are okay for texture.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground pistachios, salt, and baking powder. If using cardamom, add it here.
Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Wet Ingredients:
Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine the Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.
Shape the Dough:
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake:
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy:
Serve these pistachio biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee, or simply enjoy them as a snack!
These biscuits have a lovely nutty flavor and a crumbly, buttery texture. If you want to get creative, you can drizzle them with some melted white chocolate or add a bit of lemon zest to the dough for a citrusy twist.
