4. Mix at medium speed until you obtain a paste that is neither too thick nor too liquid. Allow the dough to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Make your cookie balls once the dough has rested and placed them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Use two small spoons to form the cookies; it is very practical!­

5. Then flatten the cookies/biscuits with the palm of your hand and sprinkle the cookies with white chocolate and pistachio. Cook between 12 and 16 minutes, depending on whether you like them soft or crunchy! Once out of the oven, let them cool so that they harden slightly.
