Assembly and Baking
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out half the chilled dough on a floured surface to ⅛-inch thickness.
- Cut circles with a 3-inch cookie cutter and place on the baking sheet. Re-roll the leftover dough and repeat the process until you use up the whole dough recipe.
- Put 1 teaspoon of pistachio spread in the center of each circle.
- Fold to form a triangle, ensuring the filling is visible in the center. Pinch seams to seal.
- Transfer the shaped cookies into the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden.
- Drizzle baked cookies with additional pistachio spread. Sprinkle with diced pistachios.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven if desired.
