Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 120 grams dried cherries, roughly chopped
- 100 grams white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped pistachios, dried cherries, and white chocolate chips (if using).
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
