- Place the butter with the sugar in an electric mixer and beat until the sugar dissolves and they become homogeneous.

- Divide the dough into equal-sized pieces, then shape them in the special mould and fill with the pistachio filling, cover with a layer of dough and press slightly; you can also leave them plain without filling.
