Steps
Sift the flour and pour it into a bowl, add the sugar, egg, softened butter, grated lemon zest, the pulp from the vanilla bean, salt, and chopped pistachios, and knead.
Preheat the oven to static mode at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Form a dough ball and let it rest 30 minutes in the fridge wrapped in plastic film. After time has passed, take the dough and form balls of about 0.9 ounces. Place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and flatten them slightly. Bake in the middle rack and cook the cookies for 15-20 minutes, checking that they do not brown too much. Take them out and let them cool. In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate and with a spoon or a piping cone decorate the cookies.
Storage
