Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup chopped pistachios
- ¼ cup pistachio cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Arrange your oven rack in the center position and preheat to 375°F. Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine 2 ¼ cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt using a whisk.
- Use an electric mixer to blend 1 cup butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup brown sugar until the mixture becomes airy and pale, approximately 3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, ensuring complete blending after each addition.
- Gently blend 2 tsp vanilla extract and ¼ cup pistachio cream into the mixture until smoothly integrated.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing at low speed until ingredients are just combined.
- Delicately fold 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped pistachios into the dough using a rubber spatula.
- Portion rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, maintaining 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, watching for golden brown edges and centers that appear slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes after removing from oven.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack, letting them cool completely before storing.
- Place cookies in an airtight container where they will remain fresh for up to 5 days at room temperature.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and creates a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Swap out chocolate chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate to customize the flavor profile.
- For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend.
- Toasting chopped pistachios before adding them to the dough intensifies their nutty flavor and adds extra crunch.
