Coarsely grind the pistachios and reserve a little for topping the cookies.
Knead the semolina, flour, butter, and sugar into a soft dough.
Rest the dough for 10 minutes so the semolina absorbs moisture.
Shape the cookies into walnut-sized pieces and coat with pistachios, keeping the surfaces from cracking.
Bake in a 180°C oven for 16 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned.
Let them stand on the tray for 10 minutes, then lift the semolina cookies without breaking them.
💡 Tip: A short dough rest helps the cookies bake without cracking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature with tea or coffee.
