Ingredients

Cookies:
  • 225g pistachio butter
  • 1 cup butter, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup Capilano Pure Honey
  • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1⁄2 cup caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups plain all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup pistachios
  • 1 cup white choc melts
  • 1 tsp salt flakes

 

Honey Frosting:

 

To Decorate:
  1. Line an oven tray with baking paper. 
  2. Place heaped teaspoon-sized balls of pistachio butter onto the tray, and place into the freezer to set for one hour. 
  3. Line three additional trays with baking paper. 
  4. Add the butter, Capilano Pure Honey, brown sugar and caster sugar to a mixing bowl, and cream using electric beaters until light and pale in colour, and fluffy in texture. 
  5. Then add one egg, and mix until well combined. Add the second egg and mix well. 
  6. In a separate bowl, mix together the plain flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. 
  7. Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, and mix until just combined. 
  8. Fold in the white chocolate melts and pistachios. 
  9. Divide the dough into 15 large balls, then place a frozen ball of the pistachio butter into the middle of each dough ball. Roll to encase the filling. 
  10. Place 4-6 balls of dough onto each lined tray. Place trays into the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes - 3 hours to allow the dough balls to chill. 
  11. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan-forced. 
  12. Place cookies into the oven to bake for 13-18 minutes or until golden brown and just set on the outside. Set aside to cool. 
  13. To make the frosting, in a mixing bowl using electric beaters, cream the butter until pale, light and fluffy. 
  14. Add the Capilano Pure Honey and whisk for another minute before adding in the icing mixture. Whisk until combined and place in a piping bag. 
  15. When the cookies are cool to touch, pipe the icing on top. Sprinkle over the remaining chopped pistachios and drizzle with extra honey. 
  16. Serve and enjoy!
