Description
These Dubai Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are soft, chewy, and rich with pistachio cream and melted chocolate. Inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate trend, this recipe combines hearty oats with luxurious flavors for cookies that feel special but still work in a real home kitchen.
Ingredients
-
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted or lightly browned and cooled
-
¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
-
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1½ cups (150 g) rolled oats
-
1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon fine salt
-
¾ cup pistachio cream (not paste)
-
1 cup (170 g) chopped chocolate (dark or milk)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
-
Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
-
In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined — do not overmix.
-
Fold in chopped chocolate, then swirl in pistachio cream, leaving visible streaks.
-
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2½ inches apart.
-
Optional: Chill dough for 20–30 minutes for thicker cookies.
-
Bake for 10–13 minutes, until edges are set and centers still look soft.
-
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
-
For gooey centers, bake on the shorter end of the time range.
-
For bakery-style cookies, chill dough for 30–45 minutes before baking.
-
Use pistachio cream that is lightly sweetened and smooth — pistachio paste is too intense.
-
Cookies will firm up as they cool; avoid overbaking.
