Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, finely ground
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract (optional)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup honey (for drizzling)
  • Additional chopped pistachios (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add ricotta, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Gradually add flour, almond flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Roll 1 tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls. Place on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  6. While warm, drizzle honey over each bite. Sprinkle with extra chopped pistachios (if using).
  7. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Enjoy at room temperature!
