Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 3/4 cup shelled pistachios finely chopped
Instructions
Beat the softened butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the vanilla, flour, and salt until a soft dough forms; fold in the pistachios.
Shape the dough into a log, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.
Slice the chilled log into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange them on the sheets.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
