Ingredients2 cups plain white flour
2 cups caster sugar
200 grams butter
1/3 cup ground pistachio
Method
Heat oven to 150c degrees. Grind your sugar in an electric grinder so that it is as fine as icing sugar.
Place sifted flour and sugar in a food processor. Add room temperature butter. Blend together until you get a crumbling dough.
Remove the dough from the food processor into a big bowl. Kneed the dough for a few minutes. You are now ready to roll out little cookies.
Line an oven tray with baking paper and spray with olive oil spray. Set aside.
Take approx. 1 TBSP of mixture and press with the palms of your hands into a ball. Hold the ball in one palm and flatten by pressing with the other palm of your hand. You should have a disk shaped cookie in your hand.
Feel free to experiment but be gentle as the dough crumbles easily.
One you have the disk shaped cookie, take your thumb and slowly press it into the middle of your cookie. Place cookie onto the baking tray.
Sprinkle ground pistachio on top where you made your thumb marking.
Bake for 10 mins. Watch the cookies closely to avoid them browning on top. When you take them out of the oven, they will be very fragile. Leave them to cool before you taste your first one!
