Preheat the oven to 180°c.

In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar and butter until it is fluffy. Add vanilla extract to this and whisk again.

Now, add cardamom powder, flour, coconut, and milk, and mix well until the dough just comes together.

If you find the dough crumbly, add some more milk but not more than 1/2 tbsp.

Grease a baking tray with oil and place butter paper.

Now, scoop portions out of the dough using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon.

Shape into balls and place on a baking tray. Gently place the pistachios each on a cookie dough ball.

Bake for 15 mins or till top turns golden brown.

Let cool completely before removing from the baking tray.

Finally, serve as a tea time snack and store cooled in an air-tight container.
