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 (if using unsalted 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: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a deep golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled, browned butter, light brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt (if using unsalted pistachios).
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until no flour is visible; do not overmix.
  6. Add Chocolate and Pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate and fine pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space for spreading.
  8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Finish with Sea Salt: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt over the warm cookies. Allow to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in these delicious Salted Pistachio Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.

Notes

Keep an eye on the butter as it browns quickly. Stir consistently to prevent burning. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for optimal freshness.
