Puff pastry is a very convenient aid in the kitchen. It is easily accessible, inexpensive, and versatile, as it can be prepared sweet and savoury. It's worth having a recipe for simple puff pastry cookies in your notebook. They always turn out well and taste heavenly.

The crowning glory of these cookies is delicious pistachio paste. Making it at home is not difficult, and it's more cost-effective than many store-bought options.

Step 2. Unroll the puff pastry on the counter and cut it into strips. Roll each strip into a roll. It's a good idea to remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator 10 minutes earlier - when it reaches room temperature, it will be more pliable.
