remain. Stir until combined. (Dough will
be sticky.) Chill, covered, 2 to 24 hours.



  1. For pistachio paste: In a food
    processor combine 1 cup pistachios
    and remaining 1/4 cup granulated
    sugar. Pulse until finely chopped.
    Add 2 Tbsp. water, remaining 1 Tbsp.
    butter and egg, the almond extract,
    and remaining 1/8 tsp. salt. Pulse
    until a thick paste forms. Add a few
    drops of green food coloring.
    Pulse to combine. Transfer to a bowl.
    Chill, covered, 30 minutes.

  2. Roll out half the chilled dough to a
    10×8-inch rectangle between two sheets
    of parchment paper sprinkled with
    cocoa powder; repeat with the other
    half of the dough. Chill 15 to 30 minutes
    or until just firm.

  3. Remove top sheet of parchment
    from one sheet of dough. Spread with
    half the pistachio paste, leaving a
    1/2 -inch border. Tightly roll up dough,
    starting from a long side, using
    parchment paper to help. (If dough
    sticks, use a thin metal spatula to scrape
    dough away from the paper.)
    Repeat with remaining dough and
    pistachio paste. Chill, covered, overnight.
    (Roll the logs occasionally to help keep
    their shape.)

  4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie
    sheet with parchment paper.
    Finely chop remaining
    pistachios; place in a small
    bowl. Place milk in another
    small bowl. Using a sharp
    knife, cut logs into
    1/2 -inch-thick slices.
    Roll edge of each slice in
    milk then pistachios. Place
    slices 2 inches apart on
    prepared sheet. Bake 11 to
    13 minutes or until edges
    are firm. Let cool on a wire
    rack. Store in an airtight
    container at room
    temperature up to 3 days.
