White Chocolate Pistachio Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Veganized from Eat the Love.
1/4 c white chocolate chips
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or pistachio oil (if you have it)
1 c roasted pistachios, shelled
1 1/2 sticks Earth Balance
1/2 c unbleached cane sugar
½ c brown sugar
1 ½ tsp Ener-G Egg replacer (do not mix with water, add it dry)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 c unbleached all purpose flour
1 c bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat.
Melt the white chocolate. Every cook will tell you to use a double boiler, or create your own (which is super easy). Alternatively, you can melt chocolate (white and dark) in the microwave. Just keep a very close eye, as chocolate scorches rather easily. Start with 15 or 30 seconds. If you go the microwave route, it’s best to take your chips out when your bowl is hot. The chips will probably not look melted, but just stir them around in your hot bowl for a minute and they will melt. Once the white chocolate has melted, add the olive oil or pistachio oil and stir until incorporated.
Put your pistachios in a food processor. If you have a little one, use that. If you have a big food processor, use the small bowl attachment if you’ve got it (comes with most large Kitchenaid food processors). If you don’t have something small, use your blender. Blend your pistachios into a fine meal. Then add the white chocolate and oil mixture. Mix to create a paste, a delicious, delicious paste.
Place the Earthy B and both sugars in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until fluffy. Add the pistachio paste and beat together until incorporated. Add Ener-G and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the batter and beat until incorporated.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and add the flour. Mix until incorporated. Add the dark chocolate and stir on low speed until the chocolate is evenly distributed, just a few seconds.
Use a tbsp to scoop out the dough. It will slightly dry, but will still stick together when pressed. For any reason if your dough is not holding together, add just a splash of liquid, like non-dairy milk. Shape into a cookie, place of the baking sheet and lightly press them. They don’t need to be flat like pancakes, but don’t leave the dough in big balls on the cookie sheet. Leave about 2” of space between cookies. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and eat. These will go nicely with a nice glass of non-dairy milk 🙂
