Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies
Our Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies are rich, sweet and packed with melted chocolate and crunchy pistachios. They're easy to make, perfectly sweet and salty and come together quickly with pantry staple ingredients.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric hand mixer on medium speed (or in a stand mixer) until smooth.
- Slowly mix in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until a soft dough forms. Stir on low speed until well combined and dough is smooth.
- Using a spatula or spoon, fold in the chocolate chips and finely chopped pistachios.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop (or ice cream scoop), scoop 6 dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Add extra chocolate chips or pistachios on top if desired.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cool cookies on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
Storing: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about 5 days. They will stay soft and flavorful, making them great for make-ahead baking. They can also be frozen for up to 6 months and thawed at room temperature for longer storing.
Tip 1: For perfectly round cookies, use a cookie cutter or glass to gently shape them immediately after they come out of the oven.
Tip 2: Don't overbake. Cooking them just until the centers are soft and the edges begin to brown is the key to the best pistachio cookies.
