Easy Homemade Pistachio Shortbread Cookies


  • Author: Jessica

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shelled and roasted pistachios, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, chop the pistachios finely, but don’t turn them into a paste.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the flour and chopped pistachios to the butter mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
  6. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut shapes like rounds or rectangles.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
