cookies Ingredients
Cookie
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 14 cups all-purpose flour
13 cup powdered sugar
14 cup cornstarch
12 cup unsalted shelled pistachios, chopped
Glaze
12 cup white baking chips
Chopped pistachios, if desired
How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 325°F.
-
STEP 2
Beat butter in bowl at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour, powdered sugar and cornstarch; beat at low speed until well mixed. (Dough will be crumbly.) Stir in 1/2 cup pistachios.
-
STEP 3
Shape dough into 1-inch balls, flouring hands, if necessary. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 14-17 minutes or until set and lightly browned around edges. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
-
STEP 4
Microwave baking chips in small bowl on Medium (50% power) 1-2 minutes or until softened. Stir until smooth. Place melted chips in small resealable plastic food bag. Snip off very small corner of bag. Drizzle glaze onto cooled cookies. Top with chopped pistachios, if desired.
Tip #1
Pistachios, grown both in this country and in the Middle East, are pale green nuts encased in a sturdy red or white shell. Don't worry if the nuts are salted, the salty flavor provides a dynamic contrast to the sweetness of the white baking chips.
Tip #2
Variation: Omit white baking chips. Follow directions for mixing and baking cookies as above. Immediately roll cookies in powdered sugar. When cool, roll cookies again in powdered sugar.
