Category: Desserts
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Butter | 100g |
| Egg | 1 |
| Brown Cane Sugar | 180g |
| Baking Soda | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt | 1 pinch |
| All-Purpose Flour | 200g |
| White Chocolate | 160g |
| Pistachios | 80g |
| Dried Cranberries (or Blueberries) | 80g |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: Begin by sifting the all-purpose flour and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Stir them together and set aside.
-
Chop Pistachios: Roughly chop the pistachios into smaller pieces. Set them aside as well.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, add the brown cane sugar and the butter (at room temperature), cut into small pieces. Use a hand mixer to cream them together until smooth.
-
Add the Egg: Once the butter and sugar mixture is light and fluffy, crack the egg into the bowl and continue mixing until incorporated.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. The consistency should resemble that of soft ice cream.
-
Fold in Add-ins: Turn off the mixer and use a spatula to gently fold in the chopped white chocolate, dried cranberries (or blueberries), and pistachios. Ensure the ingredients are well distributed but avoid over-mixing.
-
Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) in static mode (conventional heat). Bake the cookies for approximately 25 minutes or until the edges are golden.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your freshly baked blueberry pistachio cookies!
Tips:
- If you want a softer texture, remove the cookies from the oven a minute or two earlier.
- For a more decadent flavor, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to a week.
Enjoy these delightful Blueberry Pistachio Cookies as a sweet treat for any occasion!
