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!
These cookies look absolutely incredible! I actually just made a batch for a family gathering this weekend. I had trouble finding pistachios at my usual grocery store, but I checked online and found them at Walmart – their site makes it easy to see what's in stock nearby, which saved me a trip. If you ever need help with an online order while gathering your baking supplies, the walmart customer service phone number on their website is super helpful for quick questions. Can't wait to try this recipe, thanks for sharing such a nostalgic holiday treat
