These cookies feature delightfully crisp edges with perfectly chewy centers, combining toasted pistachios and creamy white chocolate chunks for a unique and satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) shelled and roughly chopped pistachios, toasted
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Toast the pistachios on a dry pan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring often until fragrant and slightly browned. Let cool completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  5. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.
  7. Fold in the toasted pistachios and white chocolate chunks evenly.
  8. Optional: Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help cookies hold their shape.
  9. Scoop rounded tablespoons (about 1.5 tablespoons each) of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 11–13 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly soft.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Toast pistachios to enhance flavor and add a subtle smoky note. Remove cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers look soft to maintain chewy centers. Chilling dough helps cookies hold shape and prevents spreading. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning. If dough is sticky, chill before scooping.
