Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup pistachios
  • 1 large egg white
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a food processor, pulse the 1/2 cup pistachios until finely ground, about 30 seconds. Add the 1.5 cups almond flour and 1.5 cups powdered sugar; pulse to combine, about 10 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add the 1 egg white and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Process until the mixture forms a cohesive dough, about 1 minute. If too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough onto a surface dusted with powdered sugar. Knead briefly until smooth, about 1 minute. Shape into a log or ball.

  4. 4

    Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
