Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and browned)
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted pistachios)
  • 1/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios (finely chopped)
  • Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
  • 1 dark chocolate bar (chopped, approx 3/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Allow it to cook until it reaches a deep golden brown color and releases a nutty aroma, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled browned butter, light brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt (only if using unsalted pistachios).
  5. Combine mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently until no flour remains visible.
  6. Add chocolate and pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate and finely chopped pistachios.
  7. Scoop dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space for spreading.
  8. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Finish with sea salt: Immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt over the warm cookies. Let cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Enjoy: Once cooled, savor these cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
