03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

13 - 150 g pistachio cream spread

# How to Make It:

01 - Portion pistachio cream spread onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
02 - In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently incorporate chopped chocolate and pistachios.
05 - Scoop dough using a cookie scoop onto a lined plate or tray and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour.
06 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
07 - Flatten chilled cookie dough balls slightly, place a piece of frozen pistachio cream in the center, and seal so the filling is enclosed.
08 - Place filled dough balls on prepared baking sheet with adequate spacing. Optionally, top with additional chocolate and pistachio pieces.
09 - Bake for 11–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
10 - Immediately sprinkle cookies with flaky salt after baking. Cool on tray before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Chilling the dough ensures thick, bakery-style cookies with a soft center. For a vibrant green filling, use high-quality pistachio cream.
