Thank you Molly for bringing back a memory of my Grandmother... She hated chocolate. This video reminded me of the time we went and got ice cream bars from a gas station or super market in Nebraska one day, and I distinctly recall my Grandmother biting the chocolate off of the Ice Cream Bar and spitting the chocolate part out of the window. It was hilarious at the time and brings a smile to my face now. Thank you for reminding me of that moment.

I was looking for different cookies and you came up. So definitely gonna try and make these but I had to Google Halva. I am very excited to make them this week.

So yum!!

Made this today. A few things to watch out for: 375 was too hot for me. Burnt the first batch of cookies. I tweaked it by baking the dough at 350 for 10-11 mins. Used milk chocolate as topper to cut through all the salt and bitterness of the dark chocolate . I skipped the sea salt flakes as it made the initial batch too salty.

And where do I get the cool blue baking sheets?

My batch of Molly's cookies turned out beautifully... like magazine worthy. I made my own vanilla halva, used valrhona chocolate, and let them sit in the fridge for two days before baking.. Because of my allergy to all nuts, I used pumpkin seeds instead of pistachios. They tasted awful! Like an extreme health cookie that was trying way too hard, but just more blah than what it was aiming to be. It must be the substituted pumpkin seeds, because I cannot imagine Molly meant what mine became.

Yeah must be that because I’ve had chocolate chip halva cookies from a bakery (big pool of halva in the middle, no nuts) and they taste amazing, so those parts of the equation definitely work together. So maybe just skip the nuts/seeds entirely, I can vouch that they’re not necessary flavor-wise.

Use "pulse" a few times to get your bits for the tops of the cookies and then turn it to high. When you're using a food processor, you need to stand there and watch it. Nut flour is not fine like regular flour, so to keep on processing with that as a goal is going to give you nut butter. Go until you have mostly fine bits. If you see that the bottom half of the processor is changing texture and getting oily, you need to stop. These aren't fine french baking like macaron that require a very fine nut flour- they're just regular cookies. You don't need uniform pistachios.

I know I'm a year too late but please someone help me. I've made these a few times and they look and taste amazing except for one thing: the halva on top starts to brown/burn before the cookies are done, so I never get the pretty white pool :(( Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Either Molly's oven is significantly off, or they've posted the wrong temp and time for these cookies, as there are multiple reviews noting that they burnt when baked at 375°, and mine burnt at 10 minutes at that temp when her instructions say to bake for 12-14 minutes. Ice cream scoop = quarter cup (60 ml) 60 ml scoops x 10 minutes @ 375°: incomplete spread, resulting in a cakey, tall cookie; burnt edges, burnt chocolate, halva either burnt or melted into dough. Consistent result twice. Pistachios toasted to brown and looked like peanuts. 45 ml scoops x 10 minutes @ 350°: Much better spread, halva is toasted but not melted into nothing, 6 fit onto my tray and they no longer feel too big to be a snack. Crispier edges, any chocolate that spread to edge slightly burnt, soft sunken center. Pistachios maintained colour on top. 45 ml scoops x 13 minutes @ 325°: most minimal toasting of halva, pistachios remained green, excellent spread with slight sinking in center, no burnt edges or chocolate. ·Molly, edit your video! I'm assuming you meant to say 325°x12-14 minutes because that is the only way mine baked properly. Tons of comments here with burnt cookies.·

Science says some people dislike the taste of chocolate because many brands contain high levels of butyric acid, a byproduct of cooking milk. Butyric acid is also found in parmesan cheese and *vomit*. Some people's genetics make them more sensitive to the taste. Apparently Belgian and French chocolate has less of it and is more tolerable by those that otherwise don't like it.

I feel you, Molly! I, too, am not fond of chocolate, and when I tell people they absolutely LOSE THEIR MINDS. It's also a bummer because I am always getting gifted chocolate and end up just passing it on to my wife. The small silver lining is the calories I save when dessert menus contain nothing that appeals to me.
