For the most tender shortbread, avoid overmixing once the flour is added and keep the dough cool; if it becomes sticky while rolling, chill it for 10 minutes. Use seedless raspberry jam for a smooth glaze, and adjust the milk gradually so the glaze ribbons off the whisk. Lightly toasting pistachios before chopping intensifies flavor, but cool them fully before adding. If you prefer sharper edges, chill cut cookies on the tray for 10 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze unglazed cookies for 2 months; glaze after thawing.
