Chocolate Pistachio Butter Powder Cookies
These are not M&M candies...they may just melt in your hand AND your mouth. I'm calling them Chocolate Pistachio Butter Powder Cookies. They are truly divine - in fact, the cookie dough has the texture of chocolate mousse, and baked, they are explosions of pistachio chocolate powder in your mouth, and all over your fingers. You see, I was working to clean out my cupboards and freezer from holiday baking and opted to use leftover buttercream for the sweetness and emulsification of the cookies. I whipped that together with Pistachio Cream and a Cocoa Pistachio Butter. Pure heaven was that mixture... With a little vanilla, baking powder, and just enough flour to get the dough to release from the sides of the mixing bowl during a high-speed mix, I then added chocolate-dusted pistachios, and the combination was truly divine. Bake, enjoy, and be ready for a powder explosion of amazing flavor for your taste buds, and a little bit of a mess on your fingertips. It's so worth it. AND...
