Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
For Rolling
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the flour and chopped pistachios to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined, forming a soft dough.
  4. Place the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Then, roll each ball in the sugar to coat.
  6. Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
