Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 50 grams White chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, Chinese five-spice powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop out 1.5 tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are just set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
