Pistachio delight: Why these cookies are taking over polish bakeries

Pistachio madness has long since gone beyond Italy and taken over pastry shops. It's no wonder that the taste of these nuts is simply divine. Moreover, by combining them with white chocolate and raspberries, we achieve a heavenly dessert that won’t leave even a crumb behind.

It’s sweet due to the white chocolate, nutty and slightly salty thanks to the pistachios, and there’s no lack of freshness from the raspberries. It's best to bake these cookies immediately in a double batch since they disappear so quickly that there might not be any left for you. Everything turns out perfectly here: Crunchy, delicious, and easy to make.

Pistachio madness has swept the world — croissants, pesto, and doughnuts with pistachios are all the rage. However, I opt for delicious cookies with pistachios, white chocolate, and raspberries. This recipe has one downside — the sweet treats are so tasty that they disappear quickly.

The ingredients for preparing the cookies should be at room temperature, so it’s worth remembering to take them out of the fridge beforehand. Baking can be divided into two batches. The cookies should not be too close to each other to avoid touching edges.
