Crispy edges with a soft and chewy center
This recipe turned out fantastic. The mix of sugars gives it such a caramelized texture, everything you will ever want in a cookie. The ground pistachio just makes even better in my opinion. You guys are going to love this one, make sure to leave a comment below if you do!

Pistachio Cookies
A crispy and chewy cookie that will leave you wanting more and more!
Prep: 15 Cook: 15 Total: 30 minutesYield around 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch/cornflour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup ground pistachios
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Method
- Start by preheating the oven to 350°F/180°C and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
** Just a side note; I have tried both chilling and not chilling the cookie dough before baking and results are pretty much the same so there is no need to chill. However you can definitely make these, chill and bake the next day! - In the bowl of a stand mixer, start by beating the butter with the sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla and whisk together.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, salt and baking soda and mix to combine.
- Fold in the ground pistachios and chocolate chips.
- At this point you can choose to chill the dough or bake.
- Take a small handful of cookie dough and form into a circle, slightly flatten then place on the baking tray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Let cool slightly then transfer to a wired rack to continue cooling.
- These cookies are also freezer-friendly!
