Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and browned)
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt (only if using unsalted pistachios)
  • 1/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios (finely chopped)
  • Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
  • 1 dark chocolate bar (chopped, approx 3/4 cups)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam; cook until golden brown and cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk together the cooled browned butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the room temperature egg and vanilla extract, whisking until blended.
  5. Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt (if using). Gradually fold this into the wet mixture.
  6. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and pistachios until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet with space in between.
  8. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden; sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure the butter is browned properly for the best flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container for a week.
