PISTACHIO BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay the pistachios on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes or until the nuts are lightly toasted. Remove from the oven.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, gradually add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla; mix until creamed. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dough until smooth. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the pistachios until evenly distributed.
- Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut in half. Roll each half into a log, each 12 inches long by 1-inch high. Place the logs on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly brown. Let the logs cool for 5 minutes and then place on a cutting board. Slice each log on a diagonal into 12 1-inch thick pieces. Put the cookies back on the cookie sheet and bake 5 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake the other side for another 5 minutes. Store cookies in an airtight container.
HALVA 5 WAYS
The best thing about this classic sesame-based confection (aside from the fact that it's so delicious) is how easy it is to make at home. The base recipe can be varied to your heart's content. Try our suggestions here, then make up your own flavors. Be sure to start with a high-quality tahini, stir it well, and bring to room temperature before you start.

Steps:
- Line an 8x8" baking pan or a 9x4" loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2" overhang on 2 sides. Using a wooden spoon, mix tahini, salt, and vanilla in a medium heatproof bowl.
- Pour 1/4 cup water into a small saucepan, then stir in sugar. Attach a candy thermometer to side of pan.
- Bring sugar to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally to help sugar dissolve, until thermometer registers 250°F. Immediately remove syrup from heat. Gradually stream syrup into tahini mixture, mixing tahini constantly with wooden spoon. Continue to stir just until halva comes together in a smooth mass and starts to pull away from sides of bowl (less than a minute). Be careful not to overmix or halva will be crumbly.
- Working quickly, scrape halva into prepared pan, pushing toward edges; smooth top. Let cool to room temperature, then cover tightly with plastic and chill at least 2 hours. Remove from pan using parchment overhang. Slice as desired to serve.
- Do Ahead: Halva can be made 3 weeks ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
- For Pistachio-Rose Halva
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 300°F. Spread 1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until fragrant and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
- Prepare halva, adding half of the chopped pistachios and 1/4 tsp. rosewater to the tahini, salt, and vanilla mixture.
- Stir sugar syrup into tahini mixture and form halva as directed. Sprinkle remaining nuts over, pressing gently to adhere. Cover and chill as directed.
- For Cardamom-Chocolate Halva:
- Prepare halva, adding 1/2 tsp. ground cardamom to the tahini, salt, and vanilla mixture.
- Stir sugar syrup into tahini mixture, then quickly stir in 1/2 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate just to combine (you want to see streaks of chocolate). Form halva as directed. Sprinkle 1/4 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate over, pressing gently to adhere. Cover and chill as directed.
- For Lemon-Poppy Seed Halva:
- Prepare halva, adding 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds to the tahini, salt, and vanilla mixture.
- Add 1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest to water in saucepan before making the sugar syrup, then prepare syrup as directed.
- Form halva as directed. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds over, pressing very gently just to adhere. Cover and chill as directed.
- For Chocolate-Za'atar Halvah:
- Prepare halva, adding 1/2 tsp. za'atar to the tahini, salt, and vanilla mixture.
- Stir sugar syrup into tahini mixture as directed, then quickly stir in 1/2 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate just to combine (you want to see streaks of chocolate). Form halva as directed. Sprinkle 1/4 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate over, pressing gently to adhere. Cover and chill as directed.

Steps:
- Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and fine salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until just combined; add the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing until everything is incorporated before adding the next batch. Add the chocolate chips and beat until combined. Turn off the mixer and add the halva. Gently beat on "stir" until just combined and the dough looks a bit crumbled and swirled (this will take only 5 to 6 turns on the mixer); do not overmix or it will lose the swirl effect.
- Drop about 2 tablespoons dough per cookie (a 2-ounce ice-cream scoop works nicely here) onto 2 baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart (you should have 12 cookies per sheet). Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the sesame seeds and sea salt.
- Bake until the cookies are set on the bottom and top, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
