- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup pistachios, chopped and toasted
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
Sugars:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
Baking Essentials:
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend 1 cup flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl using a whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Cream ½ cup softened butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup brown sugar using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and light.
- Incorporate 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the butter mixture, beating until completely smooth.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients on low speed, stopping as soon as no flour streaks remain.
- Gently fold 1 cup white chocolate chips and ¾ cup toasted pistachios into the dough using a spatula.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F until edges turn golden and centers look set.
- Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Toast pistachios beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra crunch to your cookies.
- Ensure butter is truly room temperature for smoother creaming and better cookie texture.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading and create a chewier cookie.
- For a gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a quality 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
