Delicious Chocolate Pistachio Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios (unsalted)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Cream the Butters and Sugars

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

    Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine sifted flour and mix well.

    Sifting helps to aerate the flour for a lighter cookie.
  5. Mix in Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate and Pistachios

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.

    Use a spatula for even distribution.
  7. Scoop and Bake

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
