PISTACHIO-ORANGE THUMBPRINT COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Add the pistachios to the bowl of a food processor and process until ground into a slightly coarse, but even crumb (it should resemble almond flour and hold together briefly when pressed between your fingers). Measure out ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons of the ground pistachio and transfer to a medium bowl, reserving the remaining 2 tablespoons for garnish.
• Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the bowl with the ground pistachios and whisk to combine.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and orange zest and beat until evenly distributed.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 3 additions, mixing after each addition until just incorporated. Finish bringing the dough together with your hands, if needed.
• Use a ½-ounce scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press the tip of your thumb or the back of a wooden spoon into the center of each cookie to create a deep well, being careful not to press through the cookie entirely. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for about 1 hour, until firm.
• Arrange the racks in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, turning once halfway through, until puffed and golden on the bottoms. The thumbprints will lose some of their definition during baking, so use the back of a teaspoon measure to press into indentation immediately after removing from the oven, then let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• While the cookies cool, make the ganache: Add the chocolate to a medium bowl. Microwave the cream on medium power for 45-60 seconds, until just steaming. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1-2 minutes to give the chocolate time to melt. Add the corn syrup, if using, then whisk until completely smooth. Transfer the ganache to a piping bag or zip-top bag.
• Once the cookies have cooled, pipe (or spoon) about 1½ teaspoons of ganache into each thumbprint. Alternatively, use a teaspoon to spoon the ganache onto the cookies. Garnish each cookie with the reserved pistachio flour or a single whole pistachio, if desired. Let the ganache set for about 30 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

• Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of an oven, and preheat to 325 degrees. In the bowl of a standing mixer, fitted with a paddle attachement, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed for about ten minutes, or until the mixture is light in color, and very soft and fluffy. Stir in the orange oil and zest. In a separate bowl, measure out and then sift the flour. Fold the flour into the batter by hand, taking caution not to overmix. Place a handful of the dough at a time on a lightly floured work surface. With a lightly floured hand, pat each piece down to 3/8-inch thick. Connect each piece to the next, making a rough rectangular shape. If the dough sticks, loosen it with a small paddle knife or spatula. Try to use the flour sparingly. Cut the dough, using a round metal cutter, about 2 inches in diameter. Transfer the cut pieces onto the prepared pans, spacing about 1 1/2 inches between each. Press remaining scraps together and continue cutting until there are no scraps left. Bake the shortbreads for 15-20 minutes, rotating the cookie sheets from bottom to top shelves half-way through the cooking process. The cookies will be pale golden in color when they are done. Allow to cool for two minutes on the cookie sheets, then transfer to a cooling rack. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Meanwhile, spread chopped pistachios out upon a large plate. Clear a space next to the plate of pistachios for the bowl of melted chocolate, and on the other side, for parchment paper to set the finished cookies on. Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the bottoms (about one third of the way up) in the melted chocolate. Immediately dip melted chocolate portion of the cookie in the pistachios. Set the finished cookies on a piece of parchment, and allow the chocolate to harden. Store in a tightly-covered container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Add the dry ingredients and mix until a stiff dough forms. Separate 1/4 of the dough form the rest and set aside in a small bowl. Add the nuts to the dough in the small bowl.

Roll the dough from the small bowl into marble sized balls, place 1 ball on top of each of the flattened cookies. Then, on top of each cookie, place 1 of the white chocolate chips.

ROSEMARY PISTACHIO COOKIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 If you want to bake 24 cookies, set the racks in the middle and bottom third of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. If you want to make 12 larger cookies set one rack in the middle and line one baking sheet.
• 2. This is the 1st Option - the less work method: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the soft butter (not melted) and the light brown sugar on high speed until smooth, lighter in color and a little fluffy.
• 3. Then add the 2 eggs- one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowls with rubber spatula as needed. Add the flour and baking powder if using gluten free, the pistachios, white chocolate chips and rosemary - mix on medium speed till thouroughly incorporated.
• 4. Using a spoon or a fork (my preference) drop tablespoon size blobs of dough at least 2" apart onto baking sheet(s). Don't make palm size - the taste will be less appreciative. Bake until edges are lightly browned and have spread flat - about 14 minutes. Let cool on the pans.
• 5. Make sure pans are at room temperature when placing dough. If its hot out of the oven the cookies will start to spread and you will end up with one thin sheet of cookies.
• 6. The 2nd option - is harder. Beating the dough by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. The butter and sugar must be beat vigorously until the mixture lightens in color and sugar is dissolved. You will be getting a serious workout especially if using gluten- free flour.
• 7. If you have remaining dough - line a tray with wax paper and drop blobs of dough as close as possible without touching. Place in freezer - when frozen transfer blobs to a freezer bag or an airtight container, label the bag, and include instructions: THAW, then bake at 350 degrees, space 2" apart, for 14 minutes. The frozen bags are welcomed gifts.
• 8. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Or leave the airtight container on the counter and my hubby will have no problem munching these away.
