Yield: about 50 plus cookies

Ingredients

1/8 tsp salt
20g caster sugar
26g icing sugar
20g beaten egg, cold
110g top/low gluten flour
6g milk powder
26g pistachio nuts, chopped coarsely


Directions
1. Combine top flour with milk powder in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. Warm butter over low heat till milk solid burnt in the hot butter. Swirl the bowl constantly to prevent hot butter from popping and splashing.

Freeze the dough for about 30 minutes, or till solid.

9. Cut the frozen cookie dough thinly.

And place the cut dough slices over a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

10. Bake at middle rack of a preheated oven at 180℃ for about 8 to minutes, or till the cookies turn golden.

    1. Hi, sorry for my late reply. Yes, both the suggested nuts should be fine πŸ‘πŸ‘
