For the cookies

- 75 g pistachios ground
For the drizzle
- 100 g icing sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan assisted, 200°C non fan) and line two baking trays with silicone liners or parchment paper

Add the margarine and sugar to your mixer or a large bowl and beat until pale and fluffy
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again

Add in the flour and ground pistachios and mix until just combined

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until slightly golden

Leave to cook for a few minutes on the trays before transferring to a wire rack and leaving to cool completely

Once the cookies have cooled, make the drizzle. Add the icing sugar, water and vanilla extract to a bowl and stir until any lumps have gone

Drizzle over the cookies either by spooning into a piping bag and cutting a small hole in the end or with a spoon for a more rustic look
-
Finish by scattering each cookie with some ground pistachios
