Directions:
- Heat the oven to 325°F and arrange the rack in the middle. Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish or cake pan.
- Toast pistachios in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are aromatic and slightly golden, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool at least 10 minutes before proceeding.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the pistachios, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 20 times or until pistachios are ground and mixture resembles sand.
- Add flour and pulse again to combine. Add butter and zest, and pulse again until dough is just blended and comes together. Add remaining whole pistachios, and pulse so they are just broken up, 5 to 10 times.
- With the base of a measuring cup or a glass, press mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use a fork to prick shortbread all over its surface. Sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over top.
- Bake until shortbread is lightly golden and dry to the touch, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan by inverting shortbread onto a cutting board; flip over again and cut hot shortbread into 1-by-2-inch rectangles with a serrated knife. Allow to finish cooling before serving.
