-
100g of unsalted butter (or 80g of butter + 20g of Lucangeli extra virgin olive oil)
-
1 egg
-
160 g of flour
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1 pinch of salt

50g of crushed pistachios

👩🍳 Step-by-step preparation
1. Prepare the melting center 🌿
Using a spoon, form 12 small balls of Lucangeli 40% pistachio spread . Place them on a plate lined with baking paper and put them in the freezer for 30 minutes .
👉 Tip: this step is essential to ensure the center remains soft and doesn't escape during cooking.
2. Make the cookie dough 🍪
In a large bowl, whisk the softened butter (and olive oil if using) with the sugar until creamy.
Add the egg, mix, then incorporate the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
3. Shape the cookies
Preheat your oven to 180°C .
Take a ball of dough, flatten it slightly in your hand, place a frozen ball of pistachio paste in the center, then gently close to form a well-sealed ball.
Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them well apart. Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top for a crunchy and elegant touch.
4. Baking and revealing the melting center ✨
Cook for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are lightly browned.
Let it cool for a few minutes… then take a bite!
The melting pistachio center is revealed, rich, smooth, irresistible.
