How to Make Print Pin Step-by-Step
- Step 1: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Toast torn filo pastry pieces until golden brown, then mix in the pistachio cream. Set aside to cool completely.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, beat together 100 g of softened unsalted butter with 100 g each of light brown and white caster sugars until creamy and fluffy. Add 1 large room-temperature egg and mix well.
- Step 3: Sift together the self-raising flour, plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. Gently fold in 150 g of milk chocolate chips.
- Step 4: Scoop out a tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a spoonful of the cooled pistachio filling in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling, sealing it to form a ball.
- Step 5: Place each cookie on a parchment-lined baking tray. Freeze them for 60-90 minutes to firm up for easier baking.
