Time 1h10m

Yield about 84 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup pistachios
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sanding sugar, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Pulse the pistachios and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground and powdery. Sift with the flour and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar and the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the pistachio mixture and beat until completely incorporated.
  • Fill a cookie press with the dough according to the manufacturer's instructions. Press cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart onto 2 ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until set and golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

I found that the cookies spread out a bit too much in the oven, so I chilled the dough for 30 minutes before baking them. That helped a lot.

These cookies are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

I used a different type of pistachio pudding mix than the one specified in the recipe, and the cookies still turned out great.

I had some leftover cookie dough, so I decided to freeze it. When I baked the cookies a few weeks later, they turned out just as good as the first batch.

These pistachio spritz cookies were absolutely delightful! They had the perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness, and the texture was just right - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
