Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped roasted pistachios
  • 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips (for dough)
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate (for melting/frosting)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in chopped roasted pistachios and white chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
  8. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Melt the remaining white chocolate in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring between each.
  10. Drizzle or spoon melted white chocolate over cooled cookies and sprinkle with additional chopped pistachios. Let set before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • To deepen flavor, lightly toast pistachios before adding them to the dough.
  • Store with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
  • Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen.
