Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely ground pistachios
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Cool briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
- Beat together powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth; spread between two cookies and sandwich them together.
