Preparation

How do you make chocolate and pistachio cookies?

1 In a mixer with a guitar hook, mix the butter, the two types of sugar and the vanilla extract until a uniform cream is obtained.
2 Add the flour, baking soda, cocoa and salt and combine, just until a smooth mixture is obtained.
3 Add the chocolate chips and pistachios, and mix just until they are incorporated.
4 Make thick sausages from the dough and refrigerate for at least half an hour (or freeze if you want to bake at a later date).
After cooling, when the roll hardens a little, cut into 30-40 coins.
5 Arrange the coins in intervals on baking paper-lined baking sheets and bake for about 12 minutes in an oven preheated to 170 degrees.
