Description
A gourmet cookie recipe featuring the floral sweetness of honey, the crunch of pistachios, and a perfectly balanced salty finish.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
½ cup honey
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Beat in eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and honey until smooth.
Step 4: Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine sea salt in a separate bowl.
Step 5: Mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Step 6: Fold in the chopped pistachios with a spatula.
Step 7: Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto the sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
Step 9: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while hot and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure the honey is high quality for the best flavor impact. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes results in a thicker, chewier cookie.
