Dubai Chewy Cookie Recipe

🌟 Pistachio paste
Pistachios 180 g
Most store-bought pistachio pastes or creams have a crazy amount of sugar. And the 100% pistachio ones are way too expensive. So I bought pistachios from Costco and made my own pistachio paste. It’s really nutty and delicious!
Since you can lose some while blending, grind a little more than 150 g
Measure out 150 g of pistachio paste for the recipe.

🌟 Toasted kataifi
Kataifi 150 g
Unsalted butter 50 g
After toasting, you’ll end up with about 150 g

🌟 Filling Mix
Toasted Kataifi 150g
White chocolate 50 g
Pistachio paste 150 g
Pinch of salt
Divide into 8 portions, about 42–43 g each

🌟 Marshmallow Base
Marshmallow 150 g
Unsalted butter 25 g
Cocoa powder 20 g
Milk powder (skim milk powder) 8 g

Divide into 8 portions, about 22–23 g each

If you don’t have any milk powder, you can skip it


📣 Dubai Chewy Cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
Before eating, microwave for 5–10 seconds or let them thaw naturally to enjoy both the chewy and crunchy textures. I personally loved them even when eaten cold 😆
