Cookie Preparation
  1. Finely chop the salted pistachios and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and food coloring; mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour and chopped pistachios, mixing until a thick dough forms.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Shape dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Melt butter for icing in a saucepan, whisk in powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth.
  8. Once cookies are cooled, dip tops into icing or pipe it on. Let set for 1-2 hours before serving.
