Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pistachio Cream (Can substitute with any nut cream or butter if unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Room temperature for best results)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Sifted for light cookies)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Crucial for soft texture)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (Adjust according to pistachio saltiness)

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup Roasted Pistachios (Use salted or unsalted based on preference)
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chunks (Can substitute with chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Combine Pistachio Cream and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachio cream and softened unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add Sugar: Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing for another minute until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt in a separate bowl to ensure a light and even texture.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry mixture to your pistachio cream mixture while gently folding with a spatula to keep the dough soft.
  5. Incorporate Nuts and Chocolate: Fold in the roasted pistachios and chocolate chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges begin to turn golden and the centers look slightly soft.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve and Store: Serve cookies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee, and store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • You can substitute pistachio cream with any nut butter or cream, preferably unsweetened, to suit your taste.
  • Adjust sugar levels to your sweetness preference; reduce for a less sweet cookie.
  • Salt in pistachios and sea salt can be adjusted to balance sweetness and enhance flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Ensure cookies are spaced well on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Allow cookies to cool properly to set before storing to maintain their soft texture.
