Italian pistachio biscuits - soft and gooey and absolutely delish!

[kezza]

Tenina is right, Pistachio biscuits are in this year's calendar for the month of October.  I have made them and they are lovely.  They were quite chewy and I thought I might have done something wrong, but on reading other posts here, I guess with the egg whites, this is how they are supposed to be!

i remember going to the calender when Tenina pointed out the recipe and making these biscuits. for some reason i remember they didn't work out how i expected  looking back a few years ago, i made some meringues with pistachios in them and then had some chopped pistachios on top , and they were absolutely beautiful (but I just cannot find the recipe now)

Looking through my 2010 calendar and I came across Pistachio biscuits then found this posting with Trudy's version and all the comments.  I also had no idea what these biscuits should be like but this thread did help explain they need to be chewey and that is exactly how they are.  Nice for a change.  I used 80g pistachios and 40g blanched almonds and the recipe is here on Recipe Community.
