Pistachio Cookies Recipe | Nutty and Delicious

Ingredients:

1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup (125g) shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

1/2 cup (90g) white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the Butter and Sugars:

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add Egg and Vanilla:

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in Pistachios and Chocolate Chips:

Gently fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the Cookies:

Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the Cookies:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be slightly soft.

Cool and Serve:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
