For the Cookie Dough

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients needed for the Pistachio Cream Cookies. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the egg and mix well. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, creating a thick dough.
  3. Take a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and create a thumbprint in the center. Fill the opening with pistachio cream and seal the dough around the cream, reshaping it into a ball.
  4. Place the filled cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look soft.
  5. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer gently to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Keep butter at room temperature before mixing for a soft, creamy texture. Don’t overmix after adding flour, and chill the dough if it's too soft.
