Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease an 8×8” baking pan with butter, lining it with parchment paper.
- Add the butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat, allow to melt and brown for about 5 minutes, then pour into a large bowl to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Once the brown butter has cooled, whisk in both sugars, followed by the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla, until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and scoop the dough into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 22-27 minutes until lightly golden, then cool while preparing the pistachio filling.
- In a large pan, melt the 2 tbsp of butter and toast the kataifi until golden, then mix in the pistachio cream and let it cool.
- For the ganache, pour hot heavy cream over the chocolate chips, let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spread the pistachio filling over the cookie layer, then pour the chocolate ganache on top and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before cutting into 16 bars and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to toast the kataifi well for added texture and flavor.
- Chilling is essential for the ganache to set properly.
