## Ingredients

- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups almond flour (or finely ground almonds)
- 0.5 cups shelled pistachios, finely ground
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.33 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

## Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, almond flour, ground pistachios, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.
2. Prepare the Ricotta Filling: Combine ricotta cheese, honey, and lemon zest in a separate bowl. Mix well.
3. Assemble the Bites: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough and use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out small circles. Place a spoonful of ricotta filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
4. Bake: Place the assembled bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Finish: Let cool slightly before topping with roughly chopped pistachios and a drizzle of honey. Serve and enjoy!
