Cookie Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a pan, melt a knob of butter and add the kataifi pastry. Toast it for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crunchy, then let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream cold unsalted butter with light brown sugar, superfine sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy. Add cold egg and mix briefly.
- Sift in cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, then add chocolate chips.
- In another bowl, mix cooled toasted kataifi, pistachio paste, tahini, and salt until smooth.
- Scoop out cookie dough, roll into balls, flatten slightly, add nutty filling in the center, and seal the dough back around it.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are soft, then let them rest for 20 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.
- Melt chopped chocolate and drizzle over cooled cookies. Sprinkle with toasted pistachios and leftover kataifi.

Notes
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to ensure a chewier texture. Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
