Stack of pistachio whipped shortbread cookies drizzled with chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup raw organic cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons pistachio flour 2.47 ounces/70 grams
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch 2.65 ounces/75 grams

For Topping:

  • 2 ounces dark chocolate melted
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat.
  • In a small food processor, blend the cane sugar until fine and powdery, like icing sugar.
  • Transfer the sugar to a large bowl. Add the butter and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy with a very pale yellow color, stopping to scrape the sides as necessary. This takes about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pistachio flour and cornstarch to the butter mixture. Beat for another 3 minutes. The dough should look like frosting.
  • Transfer the cookie dough to a parchment piping bag. Pipe into mounds that are 1 1/2 inches tall on the 2 prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until the edges are just lightly golden, about 11-12 minutes. Don't let them darken too much! If both sheets won't fit in your oven at the same time, it's okay to keep one out at room temperature.
  • Let cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Then gently transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. They'll be very delicate.
  • Once cookies have completely cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt.
