Print Recipe

Indulge in the delightful combination of nutty pistachios and rich dark chocolate with these cookies, featuring a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.

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 (only if using unsalted pistachios)
  • 1/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios (finely chopped)
  • Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
  • 1 dark chocolate bar (chopped, approx 3/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a deep golden brown. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled, browned butter, light brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt if you are using unsalted pistachios.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Add chocolate and pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate and pistachios until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake: Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Finish with sea salt: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the warm cookies.
  10. Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
