\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I. Prepare the Dough<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Dry Ingredients:<\/strong> Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars:<\/strong> In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Wet Ingredients:<\/strong> Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and pistachio paste<\/strong> until fully combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Combine:<\/strong> Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Fold In:<\/strong> Gently fold in the finely ground pistachios and white chocolate chips (if using).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    II. Chill, Shape, and Bake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Chill (Recommended):<\/strong> Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes<\/strong> (or up to 2 hours). Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape and concentrates the flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Preheat and Prepare:<\/strong> Preheat oven to $180^\\circ\\text{C}$ ($350^\\circ\\text{F}$)<\/strong>. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Scoop:<\/strong> Scoop the dough into medium-sized balls ($1.5$ to $2 \\text{ tbsp}$ each). If desired, roll the dough balls lightly in chopped pistachios before placing them on the baking sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Bake:<\/strong> Bake for 10 to 12 minutes<\/strong>.\n
        \n
      • Check Doneness:<\/strong> The edges should be set, but the center should still look slightly soft and underbaked<\/strong>. Overbaking will make them dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cool:<\/strong> Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes<\/strong> before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This is essential for achieving a chewy texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Enjoy the delightful nutty flavour and beautiful colour of your pistachio cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
