From the dough form three equal 2–3 cm thick rolls and cut each into 4–5 cm slices. Shape into balls and place on the trays with space between them. Press a small indentation in the centre of each with a finger to create little rings. Halve the pistachios, lay three halves around the edge of each cookie and press down. Bake for about 15 minutes until light yellow.
