Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup pistachios chopped
  • flake sea salt for topping

Method
 

  1. Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk thoroughly the flour and baking soda.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat on medium speed until very fluffy the butter and two sugars.
  4. Add the egg, salt, and vanilla and beat until well combined.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well blended and smooth.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and pistachios.
  7. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes if you like a slightly underdone cookie and about 12 minutes for a crunchier cookie. Rotate the sheets halfway through for even browning.
  8. Remove baking sheets and sprinkle flake salt on top immediately. Let stand for about 5 minutes, until the cookies firm slightly. Transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

If you wish to make larger cookies, they may need 15 minutes or so to bake. Every oven is different so keep an eye on them.
