In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Gradually add the flour, ground pistachios, and almond extract to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together and is smooth and uniform.

Bake the Pistáciové Rohlíčky in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
