Pistachio Cookies are a delightful treat that combine a tender, buttery cookie base with the unique, nutty crunch of chopped pistachios. These cookies offer a balanced sweetness and an appealing texture, making them a perfect dessert or snack.

 

Ingredients

– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 3/4 cup granulated sugar

– 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

– 2 large eggs

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring a smooth mixture.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

6. Fold in the chopped pistachios evenly throughout the dough.

7. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

Notes

– For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cardamom to the dough.

– Make sure not to overbake to retain a chewy center.

– Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
