      Pistachio Cookies

      I have based myself on the Peanut Butter Cookies recipe from Anna Gordon’s American Cookies Course but I have made them in Pistachio version, using pistachio paste and chopped pistachios instead of peanut butter and chopped peanuts.

      Some I have filled them, once out of the oven, with a strawberry paste 🍓 that I had made from another elaboration.

        Pistachio with strawberry paste sounds like something one should try at least once in a lifetime… and then repeat several times. 😍

        I liked that you took advantage of the base peanut butter recipe but made it totally your own. Those kinds of twists are what make a recipe memorable.

        Also, that crunchy touch of the pistachios on the outside and the juicy strawberry core is a surprise that no one sees coming, but I’m sure no one complains. Did you cook the strawberry spread or is it a quick jam type with fruit and a touch of lemon?
        they look like the kind of cookies that mysteriously disappear from the tray! (Just in case,I didn’t go 😅) Which version did you like better: with or without filling?
        Thanks for sharing it with the community.

          @Sussan Estela Olaya muchas gracias Sussan. Están muy buenas las 2 versiones pero quizás están más ricas con el toque de la pasta de fruta de fresa que combina muy bien con los pistachos. La pasta de fruta de fresa va cocinada y los ingredientes que lleva son puré de fresa, azúcar, glucosa,sorbitol, ácido cítrico y agar-agar y una vez fría y gelificada se turbina para dosificar con manga.

            @mercedesdelgado1977gmail-com ¡Mercedes, qué buena explicación! Me encanta cómo detallaste el proceso de la pasta de fresa y el equilibrio que lograste con el dulzor natural del puré, la acidez del ácido cítrico y la textura que aporta el agar-agar suena como una combinación muy pensada ¡y deliciosa!

            Esa idea de gelificar y luego turbinar para dosificar con manga me pareció brillante, muy pro y práctica. Seguro que esa textura suave y firme a la vez hace que el relleno sea un verdadero tesoro escondido en cada galleta.
            Gracias por compartir tanto detalle y mostrarnos tan deliciosa creación.❤️

          These sound absolutely irresistible! 😍 I love how you took inspiration from a classic and gave it your own twist—pistachio paste and chopped pistachios already sound dreamy, but that touch of strawberry paste? That’s next-level creativity. 🍓💚 The textures, the colors, the flavor contrast… everything about this screams elegance in a cookie. Can almost hear the crunch and feel the melt-in-the-mouth moment! Bravo! 👏🍪

          🍪 What a wonderful reinterpretation! I love how you started from Anna Gordon’s recipe to give it your personal touch with pistachio – which has that deep, elegant, almost mysterious flavor – and you also topped it off with a strawberry fruit heart… pure pastry alchemy!
          That mix between the unctuousness of the pistachio and the acidic freshness of the strawberry sounds like a bite full of contrast and texture. Can you imagine how it would look with raspberry or orange as well?
          Thanks for sharing this oh-so-yours version – if you share them on Instagram, don’t forget to tag Chef Anna Gordon @thegoodbatch and @scoolinary! I’m sure you’ll love seeing how your recipe inspired something so delicious💛

            @Sol Damiani muchas gracias Sol. Pues con frambuesa y naranja también estarán ricas.

            La frambuesa se utiliza mucho junto con el pistacho y con la naranja comparte perfil de sabores así que combina bien con ambas frutas
