Preparation time: 15 minutes
Chilling time: 2 hours
Baking time: 18 minutes
Number of servings: approximately 20 cookies

Ingredients:
- 40 g flour
- 50 g butter (plus 20 g for chocolate cream)
- 25 g sugar
- 30 g pistachios
- 50 g almonds (finely chopped)
- 50 g chocolate with whole nuts

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Cut the butter into small cubes so that it will incorporate more easily into the dough. It is ideal for the butter to be at room temperature to achieve a uniform mixture.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cut butter, flour, sugar, pistachios, and almonds. Use your hands to mix the ingredients for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes homogeneous and slightly kneadable. This step is essential to activate the crunchy texture of the cookies.

3. Shaping the cookies: Take a portion of the dough and form small balls, which you will gently flatten with your palm. Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them to allow for expansion during baking.

4. Chilling the cookies: Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. This step helps the cookies maintain their shape and become crunchier.

5. Preheating the oven: After the cookies have cooled, preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the tray in the middle of the oven and bake the cookies for 14 minutes.

6. Finishing the baking: After 14 minutes, change the oven setting to 220°C, but only keep the top heat function active. Bake the cookies for another 4 minutes to achieve a slightly golden and crunchy crust.

7. Cooling the cookies: Remove the tray from the oven, allowing the cookies to cool slightly before transferring them to a rack. It is important to wait, as the cookies are fragile when warm.

8. Preparing the chocolate cream: While the cookies cool, you can prepare the cream. Chop the chocolate with nuts into very small pieces and add them to a bowl along with the 20 g of butter. Place the bowl in another vessel with hot water, stirring constantly until everything melts and becomes a homogeneous cream.

9. Assembling the cookies: Use a teaspoon to place a portion of chocolate cream on top of each cookie. Allow them to cool completely for the cream to set.

Practical tips:
- Replace almonds with other nuts, such as pecans or pistachios, to vary the flavor of the cookies.
- Add a little vanilla or cinnamon to the dough for an extra touch of flavor.
- You can use white or dark chocolate to change the taste of the topping cream.
- These cookies can be enjoyed not only with coffee but also with tea or a glass of milk.

Nutritional benefits:
These cookies contain healthy ingredients, such as almonds and pistachios, which are rich in protein and healthy fats. Whole grain flour, if you choose to use it, can add extra fiber. However, consume them in moderation, considering that each cookie contains approximately 100 calories, depending on the exact portion.
