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

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the chopped pistachios gently with a spatula.
- 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.
- Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top of each cookie ball before baking.

- 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.
