**Pistachio Ghribia** *(Ghribia el-Bistach)*

**Ingredients (makes 20 pieces):**

* 100g unsalted butter (softened)

* 50g powdered sugar

* 2 tbsp vegetable oil

* 100g finely ground pistachios

* 1 tbsp pistachio paste

* 180g all-purpose flour

**Decoration:**

* Sweetened condensed milk

* Pistachio paste

**Instructions:**

1. In a bowl, mix the softened butter with powdered sugar until creamy.

2. Add the oil, ground pistachios, and pistachio paste. Mix well.

3. Gradually add flour and mix until a soft dough forms.

4. Shape the dough into balls, each weighing about 20g.

5. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on your oven. The cookies should remain light in color.

7. Let them cool completely before decorating.

8. For decoration, add a dot of pistachio paste and drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.

**Note:**

You can buy ready-made pistachio paste or make it at home by toasting pistachios lightly, then blending them in a strong food processor until they release their natural oil and become a smooth paste — no need to add anything.
