Instructions

  • Dubai Bar Recipe: For the Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar instructions please follow this recipe by Moribyan.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or by hand), beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
    227g unsalted butter, 100g granulated sugar, 247g light brown sugar
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Add the sourdough starter, eggs, vanilla, and sea salt. Beat until well combined.
    57g sourdough starter, 2 large eggs, 10g vanilla extract, 1 tsp sea salt
  • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly beat in the flour and baking soda until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
    352g all-purpose flour, 5g baking soda, 340g semi-sweet chocolate chunks, 100g chopped pistachios
  • Ferment the Dough: Cover the dough tightly and ferment at room temperature for at least 8 hours or overnight. You can refrigerate the dough after 8 hours but before baking just bring it to room temperature for 30 mins - 1 hour 🙂
  • Preheat and Shape: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Roll the dough into 24-30 cookies, about 60-70g each. Place the cookie dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets and press the middles down slightly.
  • Add Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar Pieces: After pressing the cookies down, break the Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar into pieces and gently press them into the tops of each cookie.
    For extra crunch, you can sprinkle chopped pistachios on top before baking.
  • Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. To reheat, bake in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 5 minutes.
