Description

Delicious chocolate pistachio cookies perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted pistachios, chopped
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (high-quality)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chopped pistachios and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Cool on wire racks before enjoying.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality chocolate and fresh pistachios.
  • Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.
