Oatmeal cookies with Dubai chocolate and pistachio filling

Name: Recipe for oatmeal cookies with Dubai chocolate and pistachio filling
Prep time: 2 h
Cook time: 30 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: Pistachio cream: I freeze it and cut it into small cubes to fill each cookie.; Rolled oats: I prefer whole oats for a chewier texture, but quick oats will work too.; Oat flour: Binds the dough and makes the cookies tender. You can make it yourself by grinding the flakes in a blender (measure after grinding).; Egg: One large egg to bind the ingredients.; Cane sugar: Adds sweetness and crispy edges. You can substitute coconut sugar-the cookies will be even crispier. For EuroAsia, you can use beet sugar.; Basic additives: Natural vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.; Butter: Adds rich flavor and softness. An alternative is melted coconut oil (measure after melting).; Cocoa powder: Or natural cocoa - for an intense chocolate flavor.; Roasted pistachios: Chopped, added to the dough for texture. I used lightly salted ones; if using heavily salted ones, reduce the salt in the recipe.; Dark chocolate chips: Create melted chocolate flecks for extra luxury.

Tips for perfect results

Freeze the cream well: it must be firm, otherwise it will be difficult to work with.
If the filling protrudes: This will create beautiful streaks on top, but the cream will become less creamy.
For a runny filling: Freeze completely and cover thoroughly with dough.
Do not overbake: The cookies will be soft when removed from the oven. Cooling will give them the perfect texture, while overbaking will make the filling less tender.

Variations

Milk chocolate: Replace dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a sweeter, creamier flavor.
With caramel: Add a little caramel on top of the pistachio cream for a super-thick filling.
Extra crunch: Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top before baking.
With spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the dough for a warm aroma.
Quick option: Skip the filling and pour melted cream over the finished cookies.

How to store

Store in a cool, dry place, loosely covered, for 3–4 days. They may become too soft in an airtight container.

Freezing: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature for several hours.

These cookies combine a rich chocolate flavor, soft chewy texture, creamy pistachio filling in the center, and pieces of melted chocolate. The recipe is inspired by the popular Dubai chocolate bar, but is made with readily available ingredients.

Why you'll love this recipe

I love the taste of Dubai chocolate, so I constantly try to incorporate it into my homemade recipes. First, I made Dubai-style muffins, and now I've made these chocolate oatmeal cookies.

After discovering pistachio cream, I started adding it to different types of cookies. First, I added it to thumbprint cookies with pistachios, then to oatmeal cookies with pistachios, and now to this version with Dubai chocolate.

The recipe is based on my healthy oatmeal cookies with cranberries, but with the addition of cocoa powder. The sturdy chocolate dough holds the pistachio filling securely, imitating the famous bar, while the cookies remain soft, with chewy edges and always moist.

I am delighted with the result — these cookies are simply delicious!

Ingredients

Pistachio cream: I freeze it and cut it into small cubes to fill each cookie.
Rolled oats: I prefer whole oats for a chewier texture, but quick oats will work too.
Oat flour: Binds the dough and makes the cookies tender. You can make it yourself by grinding the flakes in a blender (measure after grinding).
Egg: One large egg to bind the ingredients.
Cane sugar: Adds sweetness and crispy edges. You can substitute coconut sugar—the cookies will be even crispier. For EuroAsia, you can use beet sugar.
Basic additives: Natural vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.
Butter: Adds rich flavor and softness. An alternative is melted coconut oil (measure after melting).
Cocoa powder: Or natural cocoa — for an intense chocolate flavor.
Roasted pistachios: Chopped, added to the dough for texture. I used lightly salted ones; if using heavily salted ones, reduce the salt in the recipe.
Dark chocolate chips: Create melted chocolate flecks for extra luxury.

Flour tip: If you don't have oat flour, I tried 1.5 cups of almond flour — also great, but oat flour gives a more pronounced oatmeal cookie flavor.

Preparation

Plan ahead: the pistachio cream needs to be frozen before baking.

Freeze the pistachio cream: Spread the cream on parchment paper in a rectangle measuring approximately 10×5 cm and freeze for 2 hours or overnight. This should be enough for 10 pieces.
Preparation and mixing: Preheat the oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt for about a minute, then add the melted butter and cocoa and whisk until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients: Add the oat flakes and oat flour, stir with a spatula.
Add the fillings and let rest: Stir in the pistachios and chocolate chips, then let the dough rest for 5 minutes to absorb the moisture.
Cut the pistachio cubes: Take out the frozen slab and quickly cut it into 10 pieces (work quickly so it doesn't melt).
Form the cookies: Take large portions of dough, make a depression in the center, insert a cube of cream, and cover with dough. Flatten slightly into discs. The cookies hardly spread, so place them 2-3 cm apart. It's okay if the cream peeks out a little.
Bake: 13 minutes. Do not overbake, otherwise the filling will dry out.
Cool and enjoy: Let them stand on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for another 30 minutes.
