Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the two flours and salt. Mix to combine.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the confectioner’s sugar. Beat until combined.
In 2 batches add in the flour and mix on low until all combined.
On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a wide log, cut it into three equal pieces.
You can now add flavors to the cookies. Each log can be different. Or triple the amount of filling if using one flavor.
Add the Orange Pistachio add-ins to the dough. Gently knead with your hands to incorporate.
Roll into a log and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Chill for 1 to 24 hours or until firm.
Before cutting the cookies, roll the edges in the finely chopped pistachios. Cut into ¼-inch slices. This makes one of the 3 batches.
Place slices 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.
Stack 5 cookies together and wrap in twine or ribbon give as a gift or enjoy at home. Or add to a bag and tie a ribbon to gift.
