Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup roasted shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Pistachios and Chocolate: Fold in the chopped pistachios and chocolate chunks.
- Bake: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the pistachios before adding them to the dough.
- You can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- These freeze well both baked and unbaked.
