Description

Delightful cookies featuring a magical combination of salted honey, buttery goodness, and crunchy roasted pistachios.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter (browned and cooled)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped roasted pistachios
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • Flaked sea salt for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until golden brown and nutty. Let cool for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine cooled browned butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey. Beat until creamy.
  4. Add the egg and flavorings: Mix in egg, vanilla extract, coarse sea salt, and baking soda.
  5. Incorporate the flour: Gradually stir in all-purpose flour until just combined.
  6. Fold in the add-ins: Gently fold in chopped pistachios and chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Scoop and bake: Drop dough balls onto the prepared sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden.
  8. Cool and garnish: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt if desired.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for enhanced flavors and improved texture.
