Description
A delicious cookie recipe featuring melted butter, chocolate chips, and toasted pistachios.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks, melted and cooled slightly)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cup shelled pistachios
- ½ Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the pistachios and drizzle the honey and sea salt over, toast the pistachios for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are lightly toasted and begin to become fragrant. Transfer to a cookie sheet or parchment in an even layer to cool.
- Once cooled, pulse them a few times in a food processor to chop, then place in a bag and beat with a heavy spoon.
- While pistachios cool, whisk together the flour, sea salt, baking soda, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the melted butter and sugars until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until fully incorporated.
- Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Don’t over mix. Just mix until the flour is incorporated. Then fold in the chocolate chips and cooled chopped pistachios.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (can be chilled up to about 2 days). For ease in forming the cookies if chilling longer than an hour, chill the dough for about 30 minutes and then use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop and roll into balls.
- Once chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F. Allow the cookie dough to sit out for about 5-10 minutes to slightly soften before arranging 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 9-12 minutes or until the edges become golden. The top may look undercooked, but they will still set.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to fully cool. Store for about 4-5 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
