The cookies with pistachio cream in the dough are quick and simple to make, soft and indulgent. The main ingredient is pistachio, so the quality of the product is important. An irresistible bite of goodness, perfect for an afternoon snack or after a meal. Depending on the spreadable pistachio cream you use, your dough may be more or less sticky. You will therefore need to adjust the amount of flour to obtain a firm, homogeneous dough. To make about 16 cookies with pistachio cream in the dough you will need:

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pistachio spread (about 6.35 oz / 180 g) (+ as needed to decorate)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 3.5 oz / 100 g)
- 1/3 cup pistachio flour (about 1.8 oz / 50 g)
- vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp baking powder (about 8 g)
- as needed chopped pistachios
Steps
Put the sifted flour in a bowl with the baking powder, then add the pistachio flour, the vanilla extract and the egg.
Finally add the pistachio spread and knead everything until you form a smooth dough. Only if necessary, add more flour little by little.
With slightly damp hands, take pieces of dough and form balls of about 1 oz each (approximately 25–30 g each).
Place them, a few at a time, on a tray lined with parchment paper and create a small indentation in the center by pressing with your finger (but without piercing the dough).
Optionally garnish with chopped pistachios. Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let the cookies firm up for at least 15–20 minutes.
Transfer them to the oven baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes at 338°F (in a preheated oven), avoiding overbaking.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Then finish with small dollops of pistachio spread, filling the indentations made earlier.
The pistachio cream cookies are ready to be served.
