Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature for easier mixing.
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Spoon into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Quality chocolate chips for best flavor.
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture and mix 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 gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a chewy texture, ensure not to over-bake. Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for improved texture.
