Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Take about a tablespoon of dough, flatten it, add a dollop of pistachio cream, and wrap the dough around to form a ball.

Baking

  • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Serving

  • Enjoy the cookies warm for a gooey texture or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill the dough for better flavor and shape. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
