1-2 tablespoons heavy cream

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
# Instructions:
01 -
Grind the pistachios in a food processor until they form a coarse paste. Add the powdered sugar and softened butter, pulsing until combined. Slowly incorporate the cream little by little until smooth, then set aside.
02 -
Set the oven to 175°C (350°F), and line your baking tray with parchment paper.

Whisk the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between. Stir in the vanilla extract last.

In another bowl, combine baking soda, cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Merge with the wet batter, only mixing until it just comes together.
05 -
Fold in the chocolate chunks and pistachios gently into the dough.

Scoop out some dough and press it flat into a disc. Put a little filling in the middle and cover with another disc of dough, pinching the edges shut. Keep going until all the dough's used.

Place the prepared cookies on the lined tray, ensuring there's space between them. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the edges set but the centers are still soft.

Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack to finish cooling completely.
