Pistachio Kataifi Cookies are a delightful blend of crispy kataifi pastry and nutty, aromatic pistachios, drizzled with honey for a sweet finish.

Scale

200g kataifi pastry

1 cup shelled pistachios finely chopped

½ cup unsalted butter melted

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup honey

¼ cup water

A pinch of salt

Chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Gently mix in the kataifi pastry until it is fully coated in the butter mixture.
Fold in the finely chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into small cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
While the cookies are baking, prepare the honey syrup by combining honey and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately drizzle them with the hot honey syrup.
Let them cool slightly before serving, optionally garnishing with additional chopped pistachios.

These cookies are best served warm and can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
