How To Make buttery pistachio cookies

• Step 1
  Combine butter & powdered sugar in large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg & almond extract; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour & salt. Beat until well mixed. Cover bowl with plastic food wrap; refrigerate until firm (1 hour).
• Step 2
  Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place sugar into small bowl. Shape dough into 1" balls; roll in sugar. Place 2" apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Using drinking glass with flat bottom, flatten each cookie to 1/4" thickness. (If cookies stick to glass, dip bottom of glass in sugar.) Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Cool completely.
• Step 3
  Place white baking chips in resealable plastic food bag. Microwave on MEDIUM (50% power), kneading bag every 15 seconds, until melted (30 - 60 seconds). Snip small opening at 1 corner. Drizzle melted chips over cooled cookies. Immediately sprinkle each cookie with 1/4 - 1/2 tsp chopped pistachios. Let stand until drizzle is set.
