METHOD

• STEP 1

• Beat powdered sugar, cardamom and oil for 3 mins

• STEP 2

• STEP 4

• Let it rest for 2 hrs (at room temp)

• STEP 5

• Preheat the oven to 300F

• STEP 6

• On a floured surface, roll out the dough to ½ inch thick. Cut out as many cookies as you can

• STEP 7

• Transfer to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, decorate with pistachio and bake for about 15 mins but keep an eye on them after 10 mins (always bake 1 cookie first and time it to see how it goes, you don’t want to burn the whole batch! :D )

• STEP 8

• Let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 mins because they’re fragile when hot.

• STEP 9
