Directions

  1. 1Start by browning the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour it into a large bowl to cool.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. 3Once the brown butter has cooled, add both sugars and whisk until combined.
  4. 4Add eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract and whisk until lighter in color.
  5. 5Gently fold in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated and then fold in chocolate chips.
  6. 6Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  7. 7Prepare the filling by toasting kataifi in a large pan with 1 tbsp of butter until golden and crispy.
  8. 8Transfer the toasted kataifi to a bowl, let it cool, and then mix in the pistachio butter.
  9. 9Scoop the filling into 2 tsp-sized balls and chill for at least 1 hour.
  10. 10Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  11. 11Remove the dough from the fridge, let it sit for 20-25 minutes, scoop the dough using a large cookie scoop, flatten each ball, add the filling in the center, and shape it into balls again.
  12. 12Place cookie dough balls on baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart, and bake for 14-16 minutes until golden and edges are set.
  13. 13Remove from oven, shape cookies using a bowl or round cookie cutter, and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
