As the name suggests, it is a ordinary butter cookies coated with crashed Pistachio Nut and sugar. I made it for my girls to hand out to her Sunday school teachers on Teachers' Day. Got this recipe from Agnes Chang's cook book "I CAN BAKE". I added more sugar content and switched plain flour to cake flour. Process is easy, but you need to wrap up in cling film like a sausage and chilled before I can coat it with nut, cut and bake them. Extra paitence required.
Thick and buttery cookies that melt in the mouth will soothe the craving of those who love butter cookies. The unique flavour of pistachio nut gives a strong identity and turns it to an extraordinary butter cookies.
It is troublesome to have the pistachio nut opened one by one.....worth the effort though. Shanice later complained that her fingers hurt... poor girl. She patiently accompanied me in the kitchen and open the nuts one by one. She did that for more than an hour. She also helped to crush the nuts after removing the shell. However, she enjoys participating. She's also proud of her result (not forgetting munching and happily feeding her daddy with the nuts like feeding zoo animals at the same time ;> ).
These scrumptious cookies were nicely picked in Hello Kitty bags and she proudly told all her teachers and friends that she helped in baking these when she handed them out.
A wonderful weekend which I can do what I like and bond with my girl at the same time. "One stone kills 2 birds" hah!
Not only that, I received a call from one of the teachers the next day and she wants to order 2 jars of 30 pcs cookies from me as a gift to her friends. At the end, she ordered total of 6 jars from me (Thank you Mrs Chen). Ha ha, these small gesture brought me some surprises after all.
