DARK CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO SNOWBALL BLISS COOKIES 🍪🌰

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • Extra powdered sugar for rolling

Directions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure your cookies don’t stick.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix well until fully incorporated.
  4. Slowly add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this may lead to tough cookies.
  5. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and pistachios. Ensure that they’re evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough for a burst of flavor in every bite.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out equal portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place these balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches of space between each.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn slightly golden. The centers will appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
  8. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, while they’re still warm, roll them in powdered sugar until fully coated. This will give them that classic snowball appearance.
  9. After rolling, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. You can dust them with more powdered sugar before serving if you desire.
  10. Enjoy your delightful Dark Chocolate Pistachio Snowball Bliss Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
