Pistachio shortbread, one of my favorite Christmas cookies this year. The best thing is that you don't need a pastry press, just a piping bag, as the dough is soft enough to pipe onto the baking paper. After baking, they are decorated with dark chocolate coating and chopped green pistachios, incredibly delicious together.

Pistazienkekse trocknen auf Gitter, teilweise in Schokolade getaucht, dekoriert mit gehackten Pistazien.

Preparation

Beat the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the egg. Mix the flour, salt, vanilla and pistachios and add to the batter.
Pour the mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto the baking paper in curls or arches. The dough is enough for approx. 35 - 40 pieces.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees fan and bake the pistachio curls for approx. 9-12 minutes until lightly browned. Dip half of the completely cooled cookies in melted chocolate coating and decorate with chopped pistachios.
