Pistachio Thumbprint (Kinda Sorta) Cookies image

I was aiming for a beautifully rounded thumbprint cookie with a small indentation filled with melted salted caramel baking chips... you know, those picture-perfect cookies that you see on social media that make you want to make them! Well, these didn't turn out how I intended, but they are delicious!

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup roasted and salted shelled pistachios, divided
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
⅓ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
½ cup salted caramel baking chips

Steps:

  • Place the pistachios in the bowl of a food processor and grind until finely ground, stopping before it turns into butter. Set aside.
  • Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add almond extract and mix in well. Add 3 tablespoons ground pistachios, flour, and salt; mix until the dough comes together.
  • Place dough on a piece of plastic wrap that has been sprinkled with flour. Wrap up and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine egg and water in a bowl and beat with a fork. Place remaining ground pistachios in a separate bowl. Shape the dough into 12 equal balls. Roll in the beaten egg and then in the ground pistachios. Set balls 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Make an indentation in the middle of each ball with your thumb or the handle of a wooden spoon. Place 5 to 6 baking chips in each indentation.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before removing.

These cookies are good, but they're not my favorite. I prefer chocolate chip cookies.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies are a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend eating them in small portions.

I had a hard time finding pistachio pudding mix. I ended up using vanilla pudding mix instead.

The cookies didn't turn out as I expected. They were too crumbly and didn't hold together well.

I found that the cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pistachio, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate filling balances out the pistachio flavor perfectly.
