Ingredients
 
 

For the cookies:

  • 250 gr softened butter
  • 200 gr powdered sugar
  • 150 gr fine ground pistachios
  • 500 gr flour
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda

For the pistachio filling:

  • 125 gr pistachio cream
  • 50 gr softened butter
  • 1 tsp orange blossom water

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 180 gr milk chocolate chips
  • 60 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

For the cookies:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the egg yolks and sour cream, mixing until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to bake, roll the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to approximately ½ cm (0.2 inch) thickness.
  • Using a round cookie cutter, cut out shapes and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Bake at 180° C (356° F) for 15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through baking. Allow cookies to cool completely before assembly.

For the pistachio filling:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up.

For the chocolate ganache:

  • Place the ingredients in a bowl over a double boiler. Mix until melted and smooth. Remove and let cool completely.

Assembly:

  • Place a little over 1 teaspoon of filling in between two sandwiched cookies. Cover with chocolate ganache and sprinkle on top a mix of finely chopped chocolate and pistachios.

Notes

Tip: For a summer twist, replace the pistachio filling with a generous scoop of pistachio ice cream before sandwiching the cookies.
