Ingredients

• 8 tbsp pistachio cream + extra for topping
  
  

• 113 g unsalted butter (½ cup)
  
  

• 100 g light brown sugar (½ cup)
  
  

• 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
  
  

• 1 egg (room temperature)
  
  

• ½ tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 160 g all-purpose flour (1 ⅓ cups)
  
  

• ½ tsp baking powder
  
  

• ½ tsp baking soda
  
  

• ½ tsp salt
  
  

• 100 g chocolate (½ cup + 1 tbsp, semi-sweet chips or chopped)
  
  

• 45 g crushed pistachios (⅓ cup)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
   
   

2. Brown the butter in a saucepan until amber and aromatic; let it cool slightly.
   
   

3. In a bowl, combine the cooled brown butter with both sugars until smooth.
   
   

4. Mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
   
   

5. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir just until no flour streaks remain.
   
   

6. Fold in chocolate and crushed pistachios.
   
   

7. Scoop dough into 8 balls. Press a spoonful of pistachio cream into the center of each dough ball, sealing it inside. Reserve extra cream to dollop on top if desired.
   
   

8. Bake for 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked. Remove and top with additional pistachio cream before letting cool on the baking sheet.
