Instructions
 

How to Make Brown Butter Pistachio Blondies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Brown the salted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally until it's golden and aromatic—about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
  • Whisk the cooled brown butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until glossy and combined.
  • Incorporate the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, blending until smooth.
  • Mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually stir into the wet ingredients.
  • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Spread half of the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan, reserving the rest.
  • Toast the kataifi with a bit of butter until golden. Combine with pistachio cream and layer over the cookie base.
  • Dollop the reserved cookie dough over the kataifi layer and gently smooth it out.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For an extra touch, serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt.
