Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins & Toppings
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Honey, Egg, and Vanilla: Mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Pistachios: Gently stir in the chopped pistachios, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Scoop and Bake: Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Sprinkle each with flaky sea salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use roasted pistachios for added depth of flavor.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
