Pistachio Chocolate Butter Cookies

Another cooking project ngan anak2...dah asik diorg ni lapar manjang dan asik nak main game aje, patut dikerah tenaga sikit bg buat makanan yg diorg sendiri boleh makan. Berfaedah sikit!

Resepi diambil dr website Free Food Recipe. Resepi asal takde pistachio, sy je suka2 nak letak pistachio kat atas cookies nak bg nampak menarik sikit. Sikit je dpt satu adunan ni, lebih kurang dlm separuh bekas biskut kuih raya malaysia. Tapi ok je la sbb kalau adunan yg byk, jenuh jugak nak mneghabiskan. Ni ngam2 saja dgn kudrat budak dua org tu, kira diorg x sempat la nak bosan nak mengabiskan keje2 buat cookies ni.

Tekun sungguh cik nabilah menekap acuan cookies...

esok2 dah anak dara moga2 rajin masak ye nak!

Ngan abahnya pon excited nak buat sekali!

Resepi cut & paste:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

For decoration: white eggs & crushed pisctachio

Methods:

Preheat oven to 180C.

In a large bowl combine all ingredients except flour and cocoa. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes). Gradually add flour and cocoa until well mixed (about 2 to 3 minutes). I made it into dough and wrap it with plastic cling and keep it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Shape rounded teaspoonsful as desired (1-inch balls, 2- to 3-inch logs, balls flattened, balls with indentations, etc.) or use a cookie press. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. For decoration, I brushed the top with white egg and then spred with crushed pistachio.

Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until set. Cool.
