<strong>chopped two different way<\/strong>s &#8211; more coarsely for the cookie and finer for the finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cake flour<\/strong> will give the best texture to the cookie. It is a softer flour and provides a melt a melt in your mouth experience more so than all-purpose. If you have to use all-purpose flour, you will need to use 1 \u00be cup instead of 2 cups of cake flour but the weight remains the same.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Powdered sugar<\/strong> is often used in European cookies and also contributes to a cookie that melts in your mouth.<\/li>\n<li>I know there are some <strong>who eschew using shortening<\/strong> (read Crisco) to solidify the chocolate at room temperature but there is very little and it is the only thing I know of that will make the chocolate solid at room temperature.

While I don&#8217;t usually use the processor for chopping nuts, I do in this case. Pulse the toasted nuts until they are finely chopped. They will not be uniform, so when some are, I put all of the nuts through a sieve and then pick out the larger ones and return them to the processor for more pulsing. I always sieve them to make sure the dust of the nuts doesn&#8217;t impede the sharp look of the dipped cookies. Place them in a small bowl but one that a cookie will comfortably fit in. If they are too spread out, the nuts won&#8217;t be deep enough to coat the cookie well. <strong>Step 10. <\/strong>Place the white chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Here I have made one by placing a heatproof bowl over a pan. <strong>Step 11. <\/strong>Bring the water underneath to a simmer. Do not boil. Keep it at a simmer while the chocolate and shortening melt. Stir together. Do not whisk as you may get air bubbles. <strong>Step 12. <\/strong>Keep the double boiler intact and pick up a cookie. Dip it upside down in the chocolate right up to the bottom edge. Let the excess drip back and very lightly remove any extra by scraping it gently over the edge of the bowl. Place it on a parchment lined baking sheet right side up. By keeping the chocolate over the double boiler it doesn&#8217;t get cold and thicken up as quickly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1600\" alt=\"The last collages shows a chocolate dipped cookie in a bowl of finely cut pistachios, placed on parchment, another one dipped cookie with a whole nut on top and last the cookies sprinkled with powdered sugar. \" class=\"wp-image-42717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-518x414.jpg 518w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-720x576.jpg 720w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-360x288.jpg 360w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-180x144.jpg 180w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" src=\"https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4.jpg\" alt=\"The last collages shows a chocolate dipped cookie in a bowl of finely cut pistachios, placed on parchment, another one dipped cookie with a whole nut on top and last the cookies sprinkled with powdered sugar. \" class=\"wp-image-42717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-518x414.jpg 518w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-720x576.jpg 720w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-360x288.jpg 360w, https:\/\/pastrieslikeapro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/White-Choc-Pistachios-4-180x144.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Step 13.<\/strong> Here the dipped cookie is immediately put into the bowl of finely chopped pistachios up to the bottom edge. <strong>Step 14. <\/strong>Place it on parchment paper right side up. <strong>Step 15.<\/strong> Another way to finish the cookie is to dip it, place it on parchment and immediately place a half or whole pistachio on top. <strong>Step 16. <\/strong>The last way is to sprinkle them heavily with powdered sugar but these will not have the white chocolate on them.<\/p>\n<p>All of the dipped cookies can be place in the fridge to firm up.

They thrive in arid, hot climates.  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765831273223\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is another recipe that uses pistachios?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A popular dessert in Turkey as well as Middle eastern and Mediterranean cuisines is Baklava made with pistachios instead of walnuts.  It also uses a simple syrup or honey syrup to soak in. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765832190260\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is white chocolate made from:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">White chocolate contains\u00a0cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids, but no cocoa solids. It is made from the fat of the cocoa bean (cocoa butter) mixed with dairy and sweeteners, often with added vanilla and soy lecithin.\u00a0According to the FDA, it must contain at least 20% cocoa butter and 14% milk solids.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e3f3d0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"expert-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert Tips<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Always toast the pistachios<\/strong> to bring out more flavor.  Since I toast all of my nuts, I often will toast a 1 or 2 pound package, cool them, repackage and freeze them so they are ready when I am.  At the bakery we would toast 30 pounds at a time and freeze them.  It makes baking much easier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White chocolate can seize or burn<\/strong> quite quickly which is why I prefer to melt it over a double boiler and barely simmering water.  I have burned too much melting it in the microwave.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cake flour is used for its low gluten<\/strong> content leading to a cookie that melts in your mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When coating cookies or candy<\/strong> as in the recipe, keep the double boiler intact as you dip. The hot water underneath delays the cooling of the chocolate making it easier to get them dipped. If it gets too thick, simply rewarm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" alt=\"A tray of

Since I toast all of my nuts, I often will toast a 1 or 2 pound package, cool them, repackage and freeze them so they are ready when I am. At the bakery we would toast 30 pounds at a time and freeze them. It makes baking much easier.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The nuts are\u00a0chopped two different ways<\/strong> &#8211; more coarsely for the cookie and finer for the finish.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cake flour\u00a0will give the best texture<\/strong> to the cookie. It is a softer flour and provides a melt a melt in your mouth experience more so than all purpose. If you have to use all-purpose flour, you will need to use 1 \u00be cup instead of 2 cups of cake flour but the weight remains the same.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;font-weight: 400;\">P<strong>owdered sugar\u00a0is often used in European cookies<\/strong> and also contributes to a cookie that melts in your mouth.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I know there are some\u00a0who eschew<\/strong> using shortening\u00a0(read Crisco) to solidify the chocolate at room temperature but there is very little and it is the only thing I know of that will make the chocolate solid at room temperature. Butter and oil will not harden. Coconut oil has been suggested but it can get crackling hard.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;font-weight: 400;\"><strong>White chocolate can seize or burn quite quickly<\/strong> which is why I prefer to melt it over a double boiler and barely simmering water. I have burned too much melting it in the microwave.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;font-weight: 400;\"><strong>When coating cookies or candy<\/strong> as in the recipe, keep the double boiler intact as you dip. The hot water underneath delays the cooling of the chocolate making it easier to get them dipped.
