White Chocolate Pistachio Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ t. kosher salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ½ cup confectionary sugar
- 1 t. vanilla
- ½ cup finely chopped pistachios (or ground)
- ½ cup coarsely chopped pistachios (for dipping)
- 1 to 1 ½ cups of white chocolate discs*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- Sift together flour and salt. Set aside.
- In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix butter and confectionary sugar until light and fluffy (approximately 2 minutes). Mix in vanilla. Add flour mixture and ½ cup finely chopped pistachios. Mix until combined and dough sticks together.
- Lightly flour a smooth surface.
- Divide dough in half. Form each half into a disk and roll out until approximately ¼ inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter. Transfer cut out dough to baking sheet.
- Bake 12-15 minutes (will be light brown in color on bottom of the cookie). Immediately remove from baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool completely.
- Melt white chocolate in microwave or over simmering water.
- Dip each cookie into the white chocolate** While chocolate is still ‘wet’ sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of finely chopped pistachios. Allow cookies to dry completely before packaging.
Notes
- *Lynn recommends Ghiradelli or Graham’s
- **Can dip entire top or half of the cookie into the melted chocolate
