I finished baking the cookies exactly as is, and it turned out delicious! It’s like a fudge brownie cookie stuffed with pistachio kataif 🤭

In reply to Lana. Hi Lana! If your dough gets a bit too warm you can certainly chill it, but otherwise it isn't necessary. Enjoy!

Hi there! Will update on how the cookies went, but i was wondering why you don’t chill the cookie dough for this recipe? Usually people do that to prevent spreading so i was wondering if it was because of the cake flour? thank you!

Love the idea of turning a viral chocolate bar into such a decadent, elevated cookie—it looks incredible. And honestly, no need to justify the price; these are expensive yet quality ingredients. If it’s not for someone, they don’t have to buy it, but for those who do, let me tell you you’re getting something special!
Thank you, Sam, for all your fantastic recipes!

Hi. I believe I commented on this recipe before, saying that everyone loved them.

I wanted to let you know that in addition to making them filled, I used the recipe to make cookie cups that I filled with the pistachio cream and kataifi. The only tweaks was to add 2 Tbsp of cake flour to the dough, and melted white chocolate to the filling. They were a hit as cookie cups as well.

I thought I’d share it in case anyone else wanted to try it that way.

Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes.

In reply to Leah. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Leah! I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! I haven't tried this filling in a different cookie. It might work in my strawberry cookies. It could also work in my neapolitan cookies, just don't add the chocolate to that part of the dough. Good luck! :)

LOVE THIS RECIPE! All of my friends think I’m a master baker, lol.

Thanks for sharing! I have an aunt who doesn’t like chocolate. Any ideas on how to use the filling for another dessert?

I’ve tried the Dubai chocolate bars and wasn’t very impressed. I’m on my second batch of these cookies because they are so amazing! I will say, either roll very fast or only take a few balls of filling out at a time.
