Can’t do chocolate every week right? Heck, I’ve really got to try and post a keto recipe soon too else no one will believe me anymore!
Anyway, I am a BIG soft and chewy cookie fan. I tend to not like crunchy/crumbly cookies very much. But then there’s always the exception that proves the rule. These are them.
I always make these chocolate – coffee biscotti for my mom for her christmas parties but I’m not a fan of (a) crunchy cookies and (b) coffee-favoured things. Most people seem to like them but I definitely do not. An online running friend commented that I always made the same cookie and so I set out to find something different. Especially ’cause during the winter I can mail cookies out to my friends. I’m sure they want something different too.
The recipe is from Cooks Illustrated. It’s a pay site so I can’t just link to it 🙁 BUT it’s awesome if you love to cook. They break everything down and explain why it works etc. There’s a great recipe for gingerbread cookies – two actually, one chewy one crispy – and explains why the change works.
Anyway, here’s my prep shot:
The pistachios were toasted a bit first so the kitchen smelled wonderful.
And here’s what they look like before the first baking with an egg wash on top
And the final cookies:
They were a big hit, AND even I liked them 🙂
