- Ingredients

- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup ground Pistachio
- ¾ cup butter
- ¾ cup xylitol

- green Food coloring
Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Cutting board, 1 Small knife, 1 Large knife, 1 Melon baller, 1 Bowl, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Mini food processor, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Baking sheet, 1 Parchment paper
Preparation steps
1.
Beat the butter and xylitol in a mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in the egg and almond extract.
2.
Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt until blended to a dough.
3.
Put half the dough into another bowl and knead in enough green food coloring to tint. Knead in the pistachios.
4.
Roll out the green dough between 2 sheets of non-stick baking paper into a 37cm x 25cm|15" x 10" rectangle.
5.
Repeat with the plain dough and chill both dough rectangles for 10 minutes.
6.
Remove the top sheet of paper from each rectangle. Place the plain rectangle on a surface with a long side facing you.
7.
Place the green rectangle on top of the plain rectangle. Starting from a long side, tightly roll the rectangles like a Swiss roll, lifting the bottom sheet of paper as you roll. Wrap the log in cling film and freeze for at least 1 hour until the dough is firm enough to slice.
8.
Heat the oven to 160°C (140° fan) 325°F gas 3. Grease 2 large baking trays.
9.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 5mm|1/4" thick slices. Place the slices 2.5cm| 1" apart, on the baking trays.
10.
Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly browned around the edges. Cool on the trays for a few minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
