Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, (packed)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (184.5 g) unsalted roasted pistachios*, (finely chopped, divided)
  • 1 ¼ cups (212 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, (divided)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until just combined.

Notes

- Use good quality vanilla extract; it genuinely makes a difference in the overall flavor of your pistachio cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients; mix just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
- For perfectly round cookies, roll the dough into balls before baking. This also helps ensure even baking.
- Storage: Store baked pistachio cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months.
