Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
- Fold in White Chocolate and Pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped white chocolate and pistachios, distributing them evenly in the dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a stronger pistachio flavor, lightly toast the nuts before adding them to the dough.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best taste and texture.
- You can substitute chocolate chips for chopped chocolate if preferred.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
