  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar together for roughly 4 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips, pistachios and cornflakes.
  2. Add both flours along with the salt, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. Beat until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the egg and mix until just combined into a dough.
  4. This dough is nice and thick, so you don’t need to freeze it. You can bake them straight away, which makes the recipe much quicker
  5. Place the tray of cookie dough balls in the freezer for at least one hour or overnight. 6. Preheat the oven to 200 C/180 ̊ C fan/gas mark 6.̊
  6. Line two baking trays with non-stick parchment paper.
  7. Space the balls of dough well apart as they will spread, using a second baking tray if necessary. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the cookies are golden but the insides are still gooey.
  8. Allow to cool on the tray for five minutes before enjoying. The wait will be worth it!

Test kitchen tips

  • Salted or unsalted pistachios will work well. If using salted, reduce the salt in the recipe from ¼ tsp to a pinch.
  • To make your cookies lovely and round, take a cookie cutter and place it over each cookie when they’re fresh out of the oven. Move the cutter in a circular motion to shape the cookie.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. Make sure they’re completely cooled beforehand.
  • If you rather dark or milk chocolate, swap it in. All types will work well.
  • Equally, if you prefer other nuts to pistachios, swap them in. Other great options include macadamia nuts or hazelnuts. Just make sure to roughly chop them first as these nuts are larger.
