Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground pistachios, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
