Instructions

How to Make Irresistible Brown Butter Cookie Bars

Melt 1 tsp of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Toss in torn filo pastry and toast for about 5 minutes until golden. Stir in warmed pistachio cream, mix well, and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until soft and creamy. Gradually mix in the light brown sugar and white caster sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Combine self-raising flour, plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold into the butter-sugar mixture.
Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips into your dough to ensure even distribution.
Scoop a tablespoon of dough and form a ball around a teaspoon of the pistachio filling. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 90 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C fan or 220°C conventional. Bake the frozen cookie bars for 12-15 minutes.
Once cooled, drizzle any reserved pistachio cream over the top of the bars for extra flavor.

Notes

For an indulgent experience, consider serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
