Ingredients

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

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking throughout the cooking process.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Honey, Egg, and Vanilla: Mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the dough just comes together without overmixing.
  5. Fold in Pistachios: Gently stir in the chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Sprinkle each dough mound with flaky sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely and develop their chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use roasted pistachios for added depth of flavor and a more pronounced nutty profile.
  • For uniformly sized cookies and even baking, use a cookie scoop.
  • Store the baked cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
