Delicious Pistachio Cookies Recipe - Easy to Make

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup pistachios, shelled and chopped
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

    Make sure the oven is fully heated before baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

    Mix until well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

    Ensure there are no lumps in the flour.
  4. Combine Mixtures

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

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Add Pistachios

    Fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips if using.

    Reserve some pistachios for topping.
  6. Scoop Cookies

    Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

    Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
  7. Bake the Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy them warm or store them in an airtight container.
