Chocolate-Pistachio Sablés image

You've got a lot of cookies to make, so do yourself a favor and clear some freezer space. Many doughs can be made as far as a month ahead if wrapped properly. (That means airtight! In plastic!) Logs of slice-and-bakes-like these Chocolate-Pistachio Sablés-store best. And guess what? No need to defrost before slicing and zipping them into the oven.

Yield Makes about 8 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups (lightly packed) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg white
5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup unsalted, shelled raw pistachios, coarsely chopped
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, cocoa powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients; mix just to combine, then mix in egg white. Fold in chocolate and pistachios.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8"-long log about 1 1/2" in diameter, pushing dough together if it feels crumbly. Wrap tightly in parchment paper and chill until firm, at least 4 hours. (The colder your dough, the easier it will be to slice.)
  • Place racks in lower and upper thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Working with 1 log of dough at a time and using a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/4"-thick rounds and transfer to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 1/2" apart.
  • Sprinkle cookies with sea salt and bake, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until set around edges and centers look dry, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
  • MAKE AHEAD: Cookie dough can be made 1 month ahead; freeze instead of chilling. Slice frozen logs into rounds just before baking.

I'm allergic to pistachios. Can I substitute another nut, like walnuts or pecans?

Not a fan of these cookies. They were too dry and crumbly for my taste.

These are the best chocolate pistachio cookies I've ever had. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the texture is amazing.

The cookies spread out too much in the oven. I think I should have chilled the dough for longer before baking.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they turned out great! The cookies had a rich, decadent flavor.

I've made these cookies several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, with just the right amount of sweetness.

The pistachio flavor was a bit too subtle for my taste.
