Pistachio Cream Chocolate Cookies (Printable View)

Chewy pistachio cream cookies studded with chocolate chunks and roasted pistachios for a nutty, indulgent treat.

# Ingredient List:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup pistachio cream (unsweetened preferred, or substitute with any unsweetened nut butter)
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
03 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

→ Mix-ins

05 - 1/2 cup roasted pistachios, salted or unsalted
06 - 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips

→ Baking

07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend pistachio cream and room temperature unsalted butter using a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
02 - Gradually add granulated sugar and continue mixing for 1 minute until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
04 - Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients to the pistachio and butter mixture, gently folding with a spatula until just combined.
05 - Incorporate roasted pistachios and chocolate chunks, mixing until distributed evenly throughout the dough.
06 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, place rounded dough portions onto the sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart.
07 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers remain slightly soft.
08 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best results, use room temperature butter and unsweetened pistachio cream.
02 - Monitor baking time closely; remove cookies before centers fully set for a chewy texture.
