Ingrédients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1/4 cup coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure that the unsalted butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing. Pre-measure the flour, baking soda, and salt to streamline the process.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes. Once combined, add the honey and mix well until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt for even distribution.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until no dry flour remains visible.
- Gently fold in the chopped pistachios with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to over-mix.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, consider refrigerating or freezing them. To freeze, roll dough into balls and freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.
