Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in cling film. Refrigerate your cookie dough for 1 hour.
ASSEMBLY
Preheat oven to 320F/160C. NOTE: Roll your rolling pin into a bit of flour, before rolling your dough.
Take your dough out of the refrigerator and place it on your Roul'Pat. Roll the dough into a large square (I like my cookies a 1/4 inch | 0.60 cm thick).
Cut your cookie dough using your favorite cookie cutter (I used a 2 3/4 inch | 7 cm one).
Place your cookies directly onto yourBonmat well apart. Brush each one with the egg wash (yolk + milk) and add the crushed pistachios on top, pressing down gently.
1 egg yolk, 1/2 Tbsp milk, 1.06 oz raw pistachios
BAKE!
Bake for 15 minutes at 320F/160C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 12 minutes). It is ready when they do not look quite done and are golden brown ; the top staying soft.
Once your Pistachio and Parmesan Shortbread Cookies are out of the oven, let them cool down completely on your baking sheet. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
