Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate Cookies with Browned Butter: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup brown sugar, packed
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup finely chopped pistachios
– 1 cup shredded kunafa (cooked and cooled)


Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to create your Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate Cookies with Browned Butter:

1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Allow it to cook until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

5. Fold in Chocolate and Nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, and shredded kunafa until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Scoop and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

7. Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
