Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large egg white
Pinch coarse salt
1 cup toasted salted pistachios, finely chopped (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put egg white and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Reduce speed to medium; mix in nuts and sugar, then flour and lemon juice.
  • Using a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

I made these cookies for my family and they loved them. They're now my go-to recipe for pistachio lemon drops.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies came out flat and dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

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

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pistachios with chopped walnuts. The cookies still turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of pistachios, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The lemon flavor is really strong and it balances out the pistachio flavor nicely.

These cookies are perfect for gift-giving. I packaged them up in cellophane bags and tied them with ribbons.

The cookies didn't spread out very much in the oven. I think I should have used a larger baking sheet.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I made them the day before my party and they were still fresh and delicious the next day.

I love the combination of pistachio and lemon in these cookies. They're sweet, but not too sweet, and they have a nice tartness to them.
