Ingredients

Chocolate Cookie

  • 3/4 cup (167g) salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (185g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (58g) granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp corn syrup
  • 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • 2 cups (304g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (30g) black cocoa powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Pistachio Topping

  • 2/3 cup pistachio butter
  • 1/2 cup (heaping) roasted kataifi

Chocolate Ganache

  • 3/4 cups (150g) chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (60mL) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Using a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light in color and fluffy in texture, about 2 minutes to make the dough.
    3/4 cup (167g) salted butter, softened, 3/4 cup (185g) brown sugar, 1/4 cup (58g) granulated sugar
  • Scrape down the sides and add in the eggs, corn syrup, vanilla and milk. Mix until thoroughly combined.
    2 eggs, 1 Tbsp corn syrup, 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract, 1 Tbsp milk
  • Next, add the flour, cocoa powder, corn starch, baking soda and salt. Mix until your chocolate cookie dough forms. The dough will be soft.
    2 cups (304g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (30g) dutch processed cocoa powder, 1/4 cup (30g) black cocoa powder, 1/2 Tbsp corn starch, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
  • Portion out the dough using a #24 scoop (3 Tbsp). Roll into a ball and flatten slightly.
  • Bake on a lined baking sheet for 9-12 minutes until the tops no longer look wet and glossy. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Make the pistachio topping by mixing the pistachio butter and kataifi until well combined.
    2/3 cup pistachio butter, 1/2 cup (heaping) roasted kataifi
  • Once the cookies are cool, spread the pistachio topping onto the top of each cookie.
  • While the cookies cool, make your ganache by measuring out the heavy cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or until it is boiling.
    1/4 cup (60mL) heavy whipping cream
  • Remove the bowl from the microwave and add in the chocolate chips. Use a spoon and push the chocolate chips around so they are all covered by the heavy cream. Allow the chocolate chips to sit in the hot cream for 3-5 minutes.
    3/4 cups (150g) chocolate chips
  • After the time is up, use a whisk and stir the chocolate chips into the heavy cream until smooth. Spread onto each cookie and top with chopped pistachios.
