Pistachio Cookies
These pistachio cookies are soft, sweet, and packed with white chocolate; finished with a drizzle of my 5-minute, 2-ingredient homemade pistachio cream.
Ingredients
- 1 egg (I use large eggs)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (I use organic cane)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup butter (1 stick)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup pistachios (Use more or less if you prefer)
- ⅔ cup white chocolate chips or chunks (I used 100g tablet)
- pistachio cream (to taste, to drizzle)
Instructions
- Melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. In a large bowl, add the butter and sugar and mix.
- Add the egg, salt, and vanilla. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and mix. If you’re doing this by hand, switch to a wooden spoon once the dough starts to come together.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate. If you’re using a white chocolate bar, just chop it into small chunks. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.Scoop out the dough into cookie balls. I used 85g per cookie for large bakery-style ones and got 6 cookies. You can make them smaller, just adjust the baking time accordingly.Place the cookie dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.Bake in a preheated oven at 165°C (330°F) for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.
- Remove from the oven and let them sit on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.Once the cookies have cooled, spoon your homemade pistachio cream into a piping bag and drizzle over the tops. Enjoy!
