Ingredients

Scale
  • **For the Pistachio Kataifi Filling:**
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter
  • 2 sheets filo pastry (75g), torn into small pieces
  • 200g pistachio cream (slightly melted)
  •  
  • **For the Chocolate Cookie Dough:**
  • 200g unsalted butter, softened
  • 125g light brown sugar
  • 100g white caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 250g self-raising flour
  • 100g plain flour
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 100g milk chocolate chips
  •  
  • **For Decoration:**
  • Extra pistachio cream, melted
  • Milk chocolate, melted (optional)

Instructions

  • 1. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add torn filo pastry and toast on medium heat, stirring until golden and crunchy (5-10 minutes). Remove from heat.[web:2]
  • 2. Microwave pistachio cream for 10-20 seconds until smooth, then stir into toasted filo. Cool slightly, then scoop teaspoon-sized portions onto parchment-lined tray and freeze while preparing dough.[web:2]
  • 3. Beat softened butter with brown and white sugars until combined like wet sand. Mix in eggs. Sift in self-raising flour, plain flour, cocoa, and salt; fold to form dough. Fold in chocolate chips.[web:2]
  • 4. Preheat oven to 200°C fan (220°C conventional). Line trays with parchment. Scoop heaped tablespoons of dough, flatten, add frozen filling, and wrap into balls (makes 12). Freeze balls 60-90 minutes.[web:2]
  • 5. Place frozen dough balls on preheated baking tray, bake 12-15 minutes until edges firm but centers soft. Cool on tray 15 minutes.[web:2]
  • 6. Drizzle with melted pistachio cream (and optional chocolate). Enjoy warm or cooled.

Notes

  • Freeze dough balls before baking for thick, gooey cookies with minimal spread.[web:2]
  • Toast filo patiently to avoid burning for perfect crunch.[web:2]
  • Use a cookie cutter to shape baked cookies into perfect rounds if needed.[web:2]
