So here we go with another Irish themed dish; and this time it's dessert. It's Irish because they're green (a little; from the pistachios). I'm being creative here, ok? Here is what you need to make these delicious cookies!
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. almond extract
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg (extra large)
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup ground/chopped salted pistachios
Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Start by beating the butter and sugar until it's light and whipped looking. Then add the vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, and egg. Beat until all ingredients are mixed. Then slowly add the flour (slowly so it doesn't get all over you!). Once the flour is mixed in well the dough will get quite thick. Add in pistachios and dark chocolate chips and mix on low, or by hand with a spatula. The dough is ready! (and delicious). I just drop them onto cookie sheets using two spoons, making small oddly shaped balls that puff out in the oven. If you want more uniformly shaped cookies, you can always use an ice cream scoop to get perfectly sized cookies on your cookie sheet. This recipe makes about 18-21 cookies, depending on how large you make each one. Cook in the 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. That's it! They're very easy to make and are a great twist on traditional chocolate chips cookies!
