Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pistachios evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop 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 slightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the pistachio cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
