Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 9 tablespoons pistachio butter* ( 9 tablespoons = ½ cup + 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 cup coconut sugar can sub brown sugar or a mixture of brown + white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • ⅓ cup roughly chopped pistachios

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter with both sugars and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Add in the egg, pistachio butter, and vanilla. Beat together until creamy.
  • Add in the flour, making sure to spoon and level to measure, salt and baking soda. Mix together with a spatula.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Let the dough sit out at room temperature for 1-2 hours. This allows the flavors to deepen and prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
  • After the hour is up - preheat the oven to 350. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into a ball. Add to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place no more than 8 on a cookie sheet at a time since they will spread. I had to bake mine on two separate baking sheets and baked them one at a time.
  • Bake for 11–15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. The middles will look soft. They will harden up as they cool.
  • As soon as cookies are out of oven, sprinkle with additional chocolate chips and flaky sea salt (optional). Let cool for 10 minutes.

Notes

*I have a pistachio butter recipe here which is what I used for this recipe. You can also use store bought pistachio butter but make sure it does not have any added cream or oils. It is okay to use homemade pistachio butter with a tiny bit of oil.
This recipe makes 14-15 cookies.
