Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Add Mix-Ins: Fold in the dark chocolate chunks and chopped pistachios.
- Scoop and Bake: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra texture, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
