Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup raw pistachios
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Pulse flour, oats, pistachios, salt, and baking soda in a food processor to combine (small pieces of oats and pistachio should still be visible).

    3 min

  2. 2.

    Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar in a medium bowl to create air pockets in butter, about 5 minutes; mixture will look light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, mixing just until blended. Divide dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and shape into about 1 1/2"-diameter logs. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour. (The colder your dough, the easier it will be to cut into even slices.)

  3. 3.

    Place racks in lower and upper thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Using a serrated knife, slice logs into 1/4"-thick rounds and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1/2" apart. Bake, rotating baking sheets once, until cookies are golden brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
