Bake Time: 15min

Ingredients
-1 cup (130g) raw pistachios
-1 cup (226g) or other brand Irish butter, room temp
-3/4 cup (90g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon almond extract
-2 and 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour, sifted
optional: 1-2 drops green food coloring

-2 Tablespoons Irish butter
-1/2 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar

Instructions
Pulse pistachios in a food processor until small crumbs.

Add the flour, 3/4 cup pistachio crumbs (reserve remaining 1/4 cup for topping), and food coloring (if using). Beat on medium-high speed until combined-the dough will be thick.

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. If chilling for 1+ hours, let the cookie dough sit at room temperature while oven is preheating to 350.

Roll the cookie dough into balls and place baking sheet. If the cookie dough is too crumbly, keep rolling and working it with your hands until it comes together.  
Bake the cookies until lightly browned on the bottom 15 minutes.

Let the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before adding icing.

For the icing, slice the butter into pieces and melt the butter over medium heat in small saucepan. Whisk consistently for a few minutes until lightly browned specks begin to form and a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl and whisk in the rest of the icing ingredients until smooth. Top on cookies, then enjoy!
