Time 1h50m Yield 30 cookies Number Of Ingredients 11 Steps:
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Add the pistachios to the bowl of a food processor and process until ground into a slightly coarse, but even crumb (it should resemble almond flour and hold together briefly when pressed between your fingers). Measure out ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons of the ground pistachio and transfer to a medium bowl, reserving the remaining 2 tablespoons for garnish. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the bowl with the ground pistachios and whisk to combine. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and orange zest and beat until evenly distributed. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 3 additions, mixing after each addition until just incorporated. Finish bringing the dough together with your hands, if needed. Use a ½-ounce scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press the tip of your thumb or the back of a wooden spoon into the center of each cookie to create a deep well, being careful not to press through the cookie entirely. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for about 1 hour, until firm. Arrange the racks in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, turning once halfway through, until puffed and golden on the bottoms. The thumbprints will lose some of their definition during baking, so use the back of a teaspoon measure to press into indentation immediately after removing from the oven, then let cool completely, about 20 minutes. While the cookies cool, make the ganache: Add the chocolate to a medium bowl. Microwave the cream on medium power for 45-60 seconds, until just steaming. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1-2 minutes to give the chocolate time to melt. Add the corn syrup, if using, then whisk until completely smooth. Transfer the ganache to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Once the cookies have cooled, pipe (or spoon) about 1½ teaspoons of ganache into each thumbprint. Alternatively, use a teaspoon to spoon the ganache onto the cookies. Garnish each cookie with the reserved pistachio flour or a single whole pistachio, if desired. Let the ganache set for about 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
