Pistachios and a touch of cardamom unite here in an addictive cookie.

1 dozen cookies | Active Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped skinned pistachios, rinsed if salted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg white
• Pinch of ground cardamom, or ginger

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with cooking spray.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add pistachios and stir until the butter is lightly browned and the nuts are toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Whisk in sugar. Add flour, egg white and cardamom (or ginger) and whisk until smooth.
3. Drop the batter by heaping teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. With a spatula, immediately transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. (If the cookies begin to stick before all are removed, briefly return the pan to the oven.)
