- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- 3-Tablespoon Scoop
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour about 2 cups
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 100 grams granulated sugar about ½ cup
- 100 grams light brown sugar about ½ cup, packed
- 1 stick butter unsalted, softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 ounces chocolate chopped
- 4 ounces pistachios chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Add sugars and butter to a stand mixer and cream together for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides. Add egg and pure vanilla extract and mix again until just combined.
- Transfer dry ingredients into the stand mixer bowl and run again until combined.
- Mix chopped chocolate and pistachios, then scoop 3-tablespoons cookie dough balls and drop them on the prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. If desired, add a sprinkle of flaky salt to the tops.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Roughly Chop Pistachios: For better distribution throughout the dough.
- Room Temperature Butter: Soft butter creams more evenly and creates a smoother dough that helps to give the cookies height.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to keep their chewy texture.
- Even Scooping: Use a cookie scoop to ensure consistent baking.
- Cooling Time: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet briefly so they set before moving.
