Servings 40 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. butter melted
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 40 pieces slivered almonds or pistachio pieces

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat the sugar and butter together for five minutes until the color lightens. Next, add the egg white and continue to beat on medium speed until fully incorporated. Then add in the flour and salt and continue to mix until a dough forms. Remove the mixer and allow the dough to rest for an hour, covered.
  • To form the cookies, either roll a walnut-sized piece into a ball and place an almond sliver in the middle or roll it between two hands until you have a short, thick rope. Bring the ends together and place a pistachio over the meeting place. Bake for 8-10 minutes and remove before the cookies start to brown. Allow the cookies to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
