"<p>Dressed in winter white, these cookies are a beautiful addition to any holiday cookie tin. They’re the invention of pastry chef and television personality Darren Purchese, owner of Burch & Purchese Sweet Studio in Melbourne, a retail store that produces stunning cakes and desserts. In this recipe, he teams up white chocolate and mint to create a simple coating for roll-and-slice pistachio cookies. He likes to use pistachio paste for even more pistachio flavor, though it can difficult to find, so you can substitute almond paste, or omit it entirely. The cookies will still be delicious.</p>..."
