Chocolate Pistachio Cookies

When it comes to the holidays, Chef Anna Mandziuk at Community Kitchen Program of Calgary says anything that is considered a comfort food are her favourite things to bake. “Fruit crisps or pies, coffee cakes, and anything chocolate – simple recipes, simple ingredients, and not time-consuming.” 

Chocolate Pistachio Cookies check all the boxes and have a touch of nostalgia. “This recipe is from when I owned and ran a pastry shop,” she explains. “We only made these cookies at Christmas, several batches of them, and we’d sell out each time.” We daresay they won’t last long on the cookie trays, either!
