Instructions
Freeze 1 tablespoon scoops of pistachio cream on a parchment-lined sheet.
Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until amber and speckled, then chill in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Whisk brown butter with both sugars until well mixed.
Add egg and vanilla, mix until smooth.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in separate bowl.
Fold dry ingredients into wet just until combined, then stir in chocolate and pistachios.
Scoop out heaping 3 tablespoon of dough, flatten, place frozen pistachio cream ball in center, and wrap dough around to seal.
Chill the cookie dough balls in refrigerator for 30 minutes and preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
Place chilled dough balls on parchment-lined sheet, top with more pistachio cream if desired.
Bake 12–14 minutes until edges are golden brown.
Let cookies cool on sheet 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Cookies stay fresh for 4 days in an airtight container or can be frozen for longer storage. Reheat briefly to restore tenderness.
