Ingredients

1/2 cup butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pistachios roughly chopped
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions

Cream the butter and the sugar in the bowl of a mixer until light and fluffy.
1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Add in the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
1 large egg, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix to combine.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add the pistachios and mix just until they are fully incorporated.
1/2 cup pistachios
Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap. Add the dough and roll into a 16” long log. Cover in the plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is fully chilled, at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Use a knife to cut the dough into 1/2-inch slices.
Place the dough on the baking sheets, keeping them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the dough is set and lightly browning on the bottom, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven to cool.
Melt the chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave on 50% power. Use a fork or a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the cookies.
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate
