Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pistachio Cream (Can substitute with any nut cream or butter if unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Room temperature for best results)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Sifted for light cookies)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Crucial for soft texture)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (Adjust according to pistachio saltiness)

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup Roasted Pistachios (Use salted or unsalted based on preference)
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chunks (Can substitute with chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Combine pistachio cream and butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachio cream and softened unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add sugar: Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing for another minute until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Prepare dry ingredients: Sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt in a separate bowl to ensure even distribution and light texture.
  4. Mix dry with wet: Slowly add the sifted dry mixture to your pistachio cream mixture while gently folding with a spatula to maintain a tender dough.
  5. Incorporate nuts and chocolate: Fold in the roasted pistachios and chocolate chunks, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
  7. Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers remain slightly soft for melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  8. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve and store: Enjoy your cookies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • For a different nut flavor, substitute pistachio cream with almond or cashew cream but maintain the same quantity.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste, especially if your pistachio cream is sweetened.
  • To keep cookies soft longer, store them with a slice of bread in the airtight container.
  • Use room temperature butter for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overbake; the centers should stay slightly soft for the best melt-in-your-mouth experience.
