Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Pistachio Cream: Begin by freezing tablespoon-sized balls of pistachio cream for at least 30 minutes.
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Mix the Sugars and Butter: Combine cooled butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate one egg and vanilla extract into the mixture until fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Mix in Chocolate and Pistachios: Gently fold in chocolate chips and crushed pistachios until evenly distributed.
- Wrap the Pistachio Cream: Flatten portions of dough, place a frozen pistachio cream ball in the center, wrap the dough around it, and roll into a ball.
- Chill the Dough: Refrigerate wrapped dough balls for about 30 minutes to maintain shape during baking.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake chilled dough for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and centers slightly underbaked.
- Cool on the Tray: Let cookies cool on the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements, chill dough to prevent spreading, and monitor the butter while browning to enhance flavor. Experiment with substitutions for dietary needs.
