Dubai Chewy Cookie Recipe #두쫀쿠

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (divided: 2 Tbsp for toasting pistachios, 3 Tbsp for marshmallow dough)
• 1 cup Pistachios, roasted (coarsely chopped before toasting)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (fine sea salt)
• 100 grams White Chocolate (chopped into small pieces for easy melting)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
• 200 grams Marshmallows (large, cut into quarters)
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Skimmed Milk Powder (adds body to the marshmallow dough)
• 1 teaspoon Neutral Oil (for greasing the tray, e.g., vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

1. Toast Pistachios in Butter

   Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the roasted pistachios and stir gently, cooking slowly until they turn a golden brown and become fragrant, about 5 minutes. Do not increase the heat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: low

2. Cool the Toasted Pistachios

   Transfer the toasted pistachios to a plate and spread them out to cool completely, about 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

3. Make Pistachio‑White‑Chocolate Spread

   In the food processor, combine the cooled pistachios, 1 Tbsp melted butter, 100 g white chocolate, ¼ tsp salt, and optional 1 Tbsp sugar. Pulse until a smooth, slightly thick paste forms.

   Time: PT5M

4. Form and Freeze Filling Balls

   Using lightly oiled hands, scoop the pistachio spread into bite‑sized balls (about 1 inch diameter). Place them on a parchment‑lined tray and freeze for 15 minutes until firm.

   Time: PT20M

5. Prepare Marshmallow Dough

   In the same saucepan, melt 3 Tbsp butter with the marshmallows over very low heat, stirring just enough to combine. Once fully melted, quickly stir in cocoa powder and skimmed milk powder until a uniform dough forms.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: low

6. Cool Marshmallow Dough Slightly

   Spread the dough onto an oiled baking tray, smoothing it to a thickness of about ¼ inch. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it is warm but pliable.

   Time: PT5M

7. Assemble the Cookies

   Lightly oil your hands. Cut the dough into circles (≈3 inches) or flatten into small discs. Place a frozen pistachio ball in the center, fold the dough around it, and roll gently to form a smooth ball. Repeat for all pieces.

   Time: PT10M

8. Final Chill

   Arrange the finished cookies on the tray and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to set the shape before serving.

   Time: PT10M
