Pistachio Marble Cookies

Makes 15-16

Ingredients

• For the cookies

  • 113 gr unsalted butter, room temp

  • 60 gr powdered sugar

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste

  • 180 gr flour, divided

  • 120 gr pistachios, ground

• For the coating

  • Demerara Sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter, and powdered sugar for 2 minutes with a spatula or a hand mixer. Add egg yolk, and vanilla, mix to combine. Divide the mixture into 2 bowls with 2/3 and 1/3. Add 150 gr of flour to the bowl with 2/3 mixture. Mix until it resembles cookie dough. Add 30 gr of flour and ground pistachios to the bowl with 1/3 mixture. Mix until it resembles cookie dough.

2. Place the plain dough on a clean lightly floured surface. Place pistachio dough on top of the plain top and cut the dough into 4 pieces. Stack them on each other, and gently need for 30 seconds. Be careful not to completely mix them. Roll the dough into a log and cover the dough with plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Cover the roll with demerara sugar. Cut 1.5 cm/0.5 inch cookies and transfer them to the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool on a cooling rack, and enjoy!
