A Sweet Treat Worth Making

Imagine biting into a soft, chewy cookie that's a perfect blend of sweet and salty, with the delightful crunch of pistachios at every turn. That’s exactly what you get with Salted Honey Pistachio Cookies!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios roughly chopped
  • Flaky sea salt for topping optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Fold in the chopped pistachios gently with a spatula.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top of each cookie ball before baking.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
