White Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies Recipe:
Follow these simple steps to make a batch of delicious cookies that will satisfy both chocolate and nut lovers alike.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir this mixture into the creamed butter and sugar until a soft dough forms.
- Mix in White Chocolate Chips and Pistachios: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop Dough onto Baking Sheets: Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers should still look slightly soft, as they will firm up while cooling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
