Pistachio Shortbread Cookies image

I made up these cookies to serve for a St Patty's Day Dinner I am hosting. The combo of pistachios and lemon in this non-traditional shortbread is spectacular. These are really easy to make. The presentation is top notch. I am serving them with a cold lemon souffle that is baked in individual ramekins. I'll share that recipe...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp all purpose flour
10 Tbsp pistachios (dry roasted/unsalted)(divided)
2/3 c sugar
2 c all purpose flour
zest of 1/2 lemon (fine)
1 large egg yolk (beaten)
1/2 tsp salt
5 drops, green food color
2 stick unsalted butter (softened)

  • 3. Using your hands, mix additionally with your hands until quite smooth.

  • 5. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 18 minutes.
  • 6. Remove from sheet to cool completely on a rack.
  • 7. Store airtight. Makes 38 cookies.

These cookies are perfection! The pistachio flavor is perfectly balanced and the texture is just right.

The cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was great. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not usually a fan of shortbread cookies, but these were surprisingly good. The pistachio flavor is subtle but it really comes through.
