Prep 19 min Cook 12 min Serves 21 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs1
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Baking Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Rice Flour1 cup
  • Pistachios1/2 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set the oven to 175 C / 350 F and line your trays so nothing sticks.

  2. 2

    Whisk the flour, butter and leavening together in a bowl so everything is evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Work the butter and sugar to a paste, add eggs, then bring the dough together with the dry ingredients.

  4. 4

    Press the pistachios into the dough in two additions so every piece gets its share.

  5. 5

    Roll or scoop the dough, bake 11-13 minutes, then cool on the tray five minutes — they finish setting as they cool.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
