Description
Deliciously chewy Pistachio Cookies that combine rich butter flavor with earthy pistachios, creating a delightful treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pistachios, shelled and roasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Mix in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the chopped pistachios, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping mounds of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut oil for butter. For a gluten-free version, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
