Ingredients
  

  • 85 g Butter
  • 100 g Brown Sugar
  • 50 g White Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 190 g Plain Flour
  • 150 g Chocolate Chips
  • Chocolate Spread
  • Pistachio Paste

Method
 

  1. Line a plate or tray with parchment paper.
  2. Spoon out 1 tsp each of pistachio paste and hazelnut spread, placing them side-by-side or slightly stacked to create one combined filling.
  3. Freeze the portions for at least 30–60 minutes, until solid.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a dough forms.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  9. Scoop 80g of dough and place a frozen pistachio-hazelnut centre inside.
  10. Roll into a smooth ball, sealing the filling inside. Place on the baking tray, leaving space between cookies.
  11. Top with chocolate chips and pistachio nuts (optional). Chill in the fridge for 1 hour before baking.
  12. Pre-heat the oven to 175°C and bake for 13 minutes, or until golden at the edges and slightly soft in the centre.
  13. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
