Description
Decadent Pistachio Cookie Cups That Melt in Your Mouth
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (Use brown butter for a nuttier taste.)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour (Measure accurately to avoid density.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar (Offers depth of flavor and sweetness.)
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar (Sweetens the dessert.)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Classic flavor that complements pistachios.)
- 1 cup Pistachio cream spread (The luxurious filling.)
- 1/2 cup Chopped white chocolate (Adds creamy sweetness.)
- 1/2 cup Chopped salted roasted pistachios (Reserve some for garnish.)
- 1/2 cup Chopped dark chocolate (70% cacao preferred.)
Instructions
- Melt unsalted butter over medium-low heat until foamy and browned, about 5 minutes. Chill until solid, approximately 1 hour.
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure proper baking temperature.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
- Beat the cooled browned butter with dark brown and granulated sugars until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, blend for 15 seconds, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped white chocolate and salted roasted pistachios.
- Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them in a non-stick mini muffin tray.
- Bake cookie cups for 12-14 minutes until edges are set. Press centers down gently after baking.
- Let cool in the tray for 15 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack. Fill each cup with pistachio cream filling and top with melted dark chocolate and extra crushed pistachios.
- Refrigerate for about 5 minutes until chocolate sets. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
