ORANGE-CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD COOKIES WITH PISTACHIO



ORANGE-CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD COOKIES WITH PISTACHIO image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Citrus     Dessert     Bake

Yield Makes 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 Sticks Unsalted Butter, softened
1/3 cup granualted sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 teaspoon pure orange oil
8 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups unsalted shelled dry roasted pistachios, chopped finely
2 cookie sheets, each covered with a silicone mat
Parchment paper

Steps:

  • Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of an oven, and preheat to 325 degrees. In the bowl of a standing mixer, fitted with a paddle attachement, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed for about ten minutes, or until the mixture is light in color, and very soft and fluffy. Stir in the orange oil and zest. In a separate bowl, measure out and then sift the flour. Fold the flour into the batter by hand, taking caution not to overmix. Place a handful of the dough at a time on a lightly floured work surface. With a lightly floured hand, pat each piece down to 3/8-inch thick. Connect each piece to the next, making a rough rectangular shape. If the dough sticks, loosen it with a small paddle knife or spatula. Try to use the flour sparingly. Cut the dough, using a round metal cutter, about 2 inches in diameter. Transfer the cut pieces onto the prepared pans, spacing about 1 1/2 inches between each. Press remaining scraps together and continue cutting until there are no scraps left. Bake the shortbreads for 15-20 minutes, rotating the cookie sheets from bottom to top shelves half-way through the cooking process. The cookies will be pale golden in color when they are done. Allow to cool for two minutes on the cookie sheets, then transfer to a cooling rack. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Meanwhile, spread chopped pistachios out upon a large plate. Clear a space next to the plate of pistachios for the bowl of melted chocolate, and on the other side, for parchment paper to set the finished cookies on. Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the bottoms (about one third of the way up) in the melted chocolate. Immediately dip melted chocolate portion of the cookie in the pistachios. Set the finished cookies on a piece of parchment, and allow the chocolate to harden. Store in a tightly-covered container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Toast the pistachios. Toasting the pistachios will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These chocolate pistachio cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With their rich chocolate flavor, crunchy pistachios, and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
