# Liste des ingrédients:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 65 grams almond flour
02 - 1 large egg white
03 - 100 grams granulated sugar
04 - 150 grams raw shelled pistachios
05 - Zest of 1 lemon
06 - 2.5 millilitres pure vanilla extract
07 - 10 grams honey

→ Finishing Touch

08 - 40 grams icing sugar, sifted
09 - Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)

# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Roughly chop the pistachios, ensuring some pieces remain larger for texture. Set aside.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy, without whipping to stiff peaks.
04 - In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and granulated sugar. Add lemon zest and vanilla extract, then fold in the chopped pistachios to evenly distribute.
05 - Add the frothy egg white and honey to the dry mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
06 - Portion out 2–3 cm dough balls using a spoon or scoop. Arrange them on the prepared tray with space between each.
07 - Optionally, sprinkle chopped pistachios atop each dough ball. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden at the edges. Cool briefly on the tray before transferring to a rack.
08 - Once completely cool, sift icing sugar generously over each cookie for an elegant finish.
09 - Present the cookies with tea or coffee, or enjoy as a delicate treat at any time.
