traditionally a hard twice baked cookie,
this delicious gem
not necessarily to be dunked in coffee
because of its chewy center
(maybe its just the way i made them?)
overall rating: 4.62
ease to make: 3.8
clean up: 5
ok folks. if you are looking for a gorgeous cookie to make this is it! no joke. beautiful. and if dallas hadn't stole my camera for a week i would have taken pics of every single step because the whole process was simply beautiful. the pistachios together....gorgeous. the pistachios wrapped up in a chocolate blanket, breathtaking beauty. maybe i just love the way pistachios look..... but only for so long. shelling an entire cup of them was painfully slow and you can't eat but maybe 2 of them because it takes almost the entire bag to make a cup.
also, i'm wondering how martha did hers. of course, her picture shows perfectly cut biscotti but when i cut mine the pistachios wouldn't cut and it ended up looking more like a jigsaw puzzle than a cookie by the end. if i were to make these again i think i would turn off the oven after the first baking, let them cool entirely, THEN cut and bake again.
and if you are beezer (my sister who i gave the cookbook to for Christmas) and don't like pistachios, leave them out and just put more chocolate chips in! i think you'd like them a lot!
