Soft, rich cookies with a luxurious pistachio cream filling, perfect for holiday gatherings and gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pistachio cream spread
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake—these cookies should remain soft.
  6. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before adding the filling.
  7. Spread a generous layer of pistachio cream onto the underside of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie.
  8. Roll the edges of the cookies in chopped pistachios for added crunch and festive flair (optional).

Notes

[‘Keep the butter soft for a creamy texture.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15–30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Taste test the pistachio cream and adjust filling quantity to suit your preferences.’, ‘Use high-quality pistachios for brighter flavor.’, ‘If the pistachio cream feels too thick, gently warm it for easier spreading.’]
