Instructions
Pistachio Filling
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg (1 large). Using a spatula, mix in the pistachio flour (2 cups), granulated sugar (⅔ cup), melted unsalted butter (2 Tbsp), rose water (2 tsp), and kosher salt (½ tsp).
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, add the melted butter (2 sticks), granulated sugar (1 cup), and powdered sugar (½ cup). Mix with a spatula until combined.
Mix in the egg (1 large), rose water (2 tsp), baking soda (½ tsp), and salt (½ tsp) until well-combined.
Add the flour (2 ¾ cups) and stir until no dry spots remain.
Assembly and Baking
Using a quarter-cup ice cream scoop, portion out the cookie dough into balls and set on a plate or tray.
Take a cookie dough ball and flatten it into a disk. Using a two-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the pistachio filling and place it in the center of the dough disk.
Enclose the dough around the filling and roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat for all dough balls.
Press rose petals into the top of each dough ball. Refrigerate the cookies until the oven is preheated.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) with a rack set in the center.
Place 8 dough balls on a parchment-lined half-sheet tray. Bake for 14 minutes, until the cookies are just turning golden at the edges.
Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered freeze-dried raspberries (1 ¼ oz) and more powdered sugar (½ cup).
Repeat the baking process with the remaining cookies.
