Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sticks salted butter (227g, room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 cup pistachios (120g, shelled)
  • 4 oz dark chocolate (113g)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat room-temperature butter until creamy. Add sugar and mix until well combined.
  2. Gradually incorporate flour until the mixture resembles chunky breadcrumbs. Use your hands to form a smooth dough.
  3. Chop pistachios and fold two-thirds into the dough; reserve the rest for topping.
  4. Shape the dough into a log and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Slice chilled dough into rounds about 1/2 inch thick and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-18 minutes until edges are golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
  8. Melt dark chocolate in increments in the microwave; dip each cooled cookie halfway in chocolate and sprinkle with reserved pistachios.
