Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add kataifi pastry and toast for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
- In a stand mixer, combine cold unsalted butter, light brown sugar, superfine sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat for about 4 minutes until fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, chilling the dough if necessary to maintain shape.
- In a bowl, mix cooled toasted kataifi, pistachio paste, tahini, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Divide cookie dough into portions, flatten slightly, place pistachio filling in center, seal and roll into a ball.
- Arrange cookies on baking trays, bake for 20-22 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are soft.
- Cool cookies on trays for about 20 minutes, drizzle with melted chocolate and top with toasted kataifi and pistachios.

Notes
Chill dough if too soft; store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
