These Brown Butter Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cookies combine a nutty flavor from brown butter with crunchy pistachios and gooey chocolate, making them the perfect cozy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pistachio cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until it turns brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped pistachios and chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution.
- Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating small balls about 2 inches apart.
- Press a small amount of pistachio cream into the center of each cookie dough ball, allowing it to create a delightful surprise inside.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look a bit soft.
- Optional: Drizzle additional pistachio cream on top of the cookies after they cool to add an extra touch of sweetness.
