Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until combined.
- Fold in the finely chopped pistachios along with the orange and lemon zest.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out small balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle the cooled cookies with crushed pistachios and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
