Step 5

Add pistachios and mix for 1 min just until incorporated.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to a bowl, cover with a plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for an hour (up to 3 days). If your cookie dough got very hard, take out from the fridge an hour before baking.

Step 7

We are ready to bake- preheat the oven to 350F or 180C.

Step 8

Make the coating mix by simply mix sugar, cinnamon and cardamom together.

Step 9

Using a cookie scooper, scoop a ball of the cookie dough and round it in your hands.

Step 10

Roll the cookie ball in the sugar mix and place on a baking sheet with a parchment paper. Keep a space of 5cm between one cookie to another.

Step 11

Bake the cookies for 10-11 min. The edges of the cookie will be crispy while the center still soft.

Step 12

Take the cookies out of the oven and immediately shape them into a perfect round shape: place a a bowl or a glass over the cookies (when still warm), do a little swirl and voilà, perfectly round cookies.

Step 13

Let them chill for 5 min on the baking tray, then gently transfer them to a rack.
