These crispy pistachio cookies feature tender, chewy centers with nutty roasted pistachios and a perfect balance of crunch and chewiness. Easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) roasted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional, for sprinkling on top before baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chopped roasted pistachios gently to distribute evenly.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for better texture. Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning. Use unsalted butter and add salt separately for flavor control. Store cookies in an airtight container with parchment layers to keep edges crisp. Freeze baked cookies up to 3 months. Reheat briefly to revive texture.
