Description

Delicious cookies combining sweet and nutty flavors, topped with flaky sea salt for a perfect crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (130g) shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in the chopped pistachios.
  7. Scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Adjust flaky sea salt based on taste preference.
