Gently pinch the dough together to seal the opening, then roll it into a ball.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div><span style=\"display: block;\">Using your hands, shape the date-filled ball into a miniature log, continuing to smooth and shape the dough until it is even and free of cracks. Dip the log into the crushed pistachios, gently pressing to help the pistachios adhere to both sides.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div><span style=\"display: block;\">Roll the log back and forth once more on the countertop to firmly press the pistachios into the dough.
