Pistachio Crescent Cookies

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You'll whip egg whites into stiff peaks and combine them with finely chopped pistachios and almonds for a simple, delicious dough that comes together quickly. The fun part is shaping little crescents with damp hands and pressing them into crushed pistachios before a quick 15-minute bake — these are so irresistible you'll be sneaking them off the plate right away.

  1. 1/6

    Whip the egg whites

    Crack the egg whites into a tall mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Start whisking and in no time you'll have nice stiff peaks.

    Chop the nuts

    Finely chop the pistachios and almonds. Mine came out almost like flour, with the occasional bigger piece here and there — it worked great for texture and flavour too.

    Flavour and mix everything together

    Mix the chopped nuts with the sugar and scrape in a little vanilla from the vanilla pod. Combine everything with the egg whites and stir thoroughly.

About this recipe

So good you'll be picking them off the plate before anything else. You know how it is :). This batch made 36 (I like my cookies on the smaller side). I'm really happy with these little crescents, they're absolutely delicious (is there anything pistachios don't make better?), and I baked them after a bit of a break — my first Christmas cookies of the year. So go ahead and give them a try :), they're really simple to make.
