Method

1. Put all the dough ingredients — flour, cocoa, powdered sugar, butter, an egg, 1 tablespoon milk, and a pinch of vanilla and salt — in an electric mixer and mix well; alternatively, you can knead the ingredients by hand.
2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to rest.
3. Place the dough between two sheets of plastic or parchment paper and roll it out. Cut the dough into the shapes you want.
4. Arrange the sablés on a baking tray and bake at 180°C for about 8 to 10 minutes only.
5. When the sablés have cooled, fill them with melted chocolate and sandwich two pieces together. Also dip the cookies in chocolate on the outside and garnish with pistachios.
6. Place the sablés in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets.
