How to Make Pista Cookies

• Grind the 1/2 cup nuts using a blender into a course powder.
• Now take your handful of pistachio nuts and coarsely grind them, put these to the side in a separate dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and ground pistachios until thoroughly incorporated.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla beating until completely combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold through until it forms a stiff dough.
