Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter foams and turns a rich amber color with a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning. Once browned, immediately transfer the butter to a large heatproof bowl and let it cool to room temperature. I let my cool down for about 10-15 minutes!
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
While the butter is cooling, line a small sheet pan with wax or parchment paper, take two small spoon, scoop 10 small dollops of pistachio cream, each about the size of a cherry, onto the lined sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Transfer to the freezer and freeze until solid. About 10 minutes. Start the dough.
½ cup pistachio
Once the butter has cooled down, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, dark brown sugar, and white sugar. Whisk until evenly combined and well incorporated. About 1 minute.
½ cup dark brown sugar packed, ½ cup white sugar
Add the whole egg, whisk until evenly combined, then add the egg yolk, and whisk again until evenly combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix just until incorporated.
1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Add together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, chocolate chip and chopped pistachios, switch to a rubber spatula to gently fold the dough until there are no more flour streaks. DO NOT OVER WORK THE DOUGH.
1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups all purpose flour spooned and leveled, 2 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate, 1 cup
Scoop the dough using a 3-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop. Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand, then place a frozen pistachio cream dollop in the center. Gently wrap the dough around the pistachio cream, leaving a small part exposed if desired. Repeat with the remaining dough and pistachio cream.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes,
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with flakey salt if you want!
