Why bake such pistachio cookies with white chocolate?
I baked today’s cookies at the request of my daughter and her friends. At the beginning of September, I received a short list of cookies they would like to eat. Among them were chocolate brownie cookies with pretzels, which I had baked before, and these very cookies with pistachios and white chocolate. The cookies turn out sensational! Delicately sweet thanks to the white chocolate, with crunchy pieces of pistachio nuts. Moreover, it’s a very simple and quick recipe to prepare – everything can be prepared with just a spoon, the dough doesn’t need to be chilled, and the cookies don’t require rolling out or cutting with cookie cutters. This is an ideal idea for quick and simple cookies that will be perfect for everyday and various occasions. You must try them!
What ingredients are needed to bake pistachio cookies?
To make such simple cookies at home, you will only need a few basic ingredients that you either already have at home or can easily buy in any larger store or discount supermarket.
- pistachios – for my cookies, I used 100g of coarsely chopped pistachios – I used salted pistachios, but plain ones can also be used. If you have fewer (or more nuts), you can use as much as you have. Remember that I provide the weight of pistachios without shells! If you have them in shells, first peel them, then weigh them.
- white chocolate – you can also use white chocolate chips; if you have chocolate of a different weight than 100g, that will also be fine.
- baking soda – if you don’t have baking soda, you can use a slightly heaped teaspoon of baking powder
- butter – I use extra butter, but optionally you can replace it with a butter blend or vegetable butter
How to store cookies with pistachios and white chocolate?
After cooling completely, the pistachio cookies are best transferred to an airtight container with a lid. This way, they will retain their freshness and softness inside for longer. The cookies are best eaten within a week, but after that time they will be just as tasty, although probably a little less soft inside.
How many calories does one pistachio cookie with chocolate have?
From this recipe, I got 16 cookies, and each of them had about 258 kcal (carbohydrates – 28.8 g, proteins – 4.2 g, fats – 14.4 g).
Most frequent questions – FAQ
Do pistachio cookie dough need to be chilled?
No, the biggest advantage of this dough is that it comes out perfectly portionable right away and doesn’t need to be chilled. But of course, if you can’t bake the cookies right away, you can put the dough in the fridge and bake the cookies later.
Do I need to roll out the dough and cut cookies with cutters?
No, for these cookies, simply spoon the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you want the cookies to have a more regular shape, you can roll the dough into balls in your hands and then gently flatten them with the palm of your hand.
Can I use salted pistachios for cookies?
Absolutely! I used salted ones precisely to further enhance the flavor of the cookies!
Can I use a different chocolate instead of white?
If you don’t have white chocolate, or don’t like it, you can use milk, dark, or bitter chocolate, or even caramel chocolate.
