About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 4 oz butter
- 3 1/2 oz brown sugar
- 1 4/5 oz regular sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 3/10 oz semi‑sweet chocolate chips
- 3 1/2 oz pistachio cream kanafa mixture
- a pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- 1Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns a golden brown color and releases a nutty aroma (about 3–4 minutes).
- 2Add the brown sugar and regular sugar to the browned butter; whisk until the sugars are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth (2 minutes).
- 3Whisk in the beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is uniform and glossy (1 minute).
- 4Fold in the semi‑sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- 5Stir the pistachio cream kanafa mixture into the cookie dough until it is evenly incorporated, creating small pockets of pistachio cream.
- 6Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet, then gently press a small indentation in the center of each cookie with the back of a spoon.
- 7Preheat the oven to 356°F (350°F). Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- 8Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over each one.
- 9Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3–4 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 10Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature; store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
