Description
These cookies are a delightful blend of flavors featuring chewy cookie dough, rich dark chocolate, and crunchy pistachios, topped with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and browned)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted pistachios)
- 1/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios (finely chopped)
- 1 bar dark chocolate (chopped, approx 3/4 cups)
- Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until it turns golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let it cool in a glass bowl for 30 minutes.
- Set your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the cooled butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl, whisking until well blended and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is light in color and smooth.
- Mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt (if needed) until almost combined. Then, add the chopped dark chocolate and finely chopped pistachios, folding until no flour streaks remain.
- Portion out dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop, spacing them apart. If your dough feels too soft, chill for about 15 minutes before scooping.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are puffy and slightly underdone.
- Sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt and add extra chopped pistachios and chocolate if desired after taking them out of the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For added indulgence, consider drizzling melted dark chocolate over the cookies before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
