Ingredients
  

  • 250 g pistachio nuts
  • 150 g icing sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • icing sugar for coating

Instructions
 

  • Process the pistachio nuts in a food processor until you get “pistachio flour”.
  • Add the icing sugar and stir.
  • Whisk the egg whites with the electric mixer till stiff.
  • Gradually add the egg whites into the pistachio and sugar mixture; stir till all ingredients are combined, and you end up with a sticky dough.
  • Let the dough rest for 12 hours in a fridge.
  • Preheat an oven to 160 Celsius degrees.
  • Form small balls from the mixture (approx. walnut size), coat them in icing sugar, place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and flatten slightly.
  • Bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes, the cookies shouldn’t get golden, so they remain soft inside.
