What are pistachio chocolate chip cookies?
These cookies are inspired by the incredible gluten-free pistachio chocolate chunk cookies from a new cafe and bakery in Boston, Velvane. They have a choice of pastries to sprinkle in their mouths, but I’m clearly a cookie girl so I went to Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Cookies. It was love in the first bite and I immediately started a reverse recipe to develop it in my head. Thank you to Verveine for inspiring this recipe. If you are in the Boston area, I highly recommend you check them out!
They use a combination of white and dark chocolate chunks, finely ground pistachio flour, and finish off the cookies with plenty of loose salt sprinkles. They have similar textures to my pride and joy (the best chocolate chip cookie in the world), so if you’re familiar with these classic chocolate chip cookies, you’ll find this iteration quite familiar. They have a soft, awful center, chewy edge with just the right amount of crunches and puddle chocolate per bite. Just add some tips on pistachio flour and almond extract and these flavors will seriously make bakery-worthy and impress all your friends. Of course, if you want to share, you don’t know if you’re holding them all for yourself 🙂
What do you need to make these pistachio chocolate chip cookies?
All the usual ingredients for chocolate chip cookies, such as butter, flour, and sugar, are required. Make sure you have a high-power blender, food processor, or mortar and pestle on hand to grind the pistachio into pistachio flour. Otherwise, all you need is a bowl and a rubber spatula to bring these babies together!
Salt-free butter: Using unsalted butter means you have complete control over the amount of salt you enter cookies, so I prefer to use unsalted in baking, but only salted on hand If you don’t have it, you can definitely use it. Up to 1/4 teaspoon! Light Brown Sugar: I love the combination of light brown sugar and granular sugar in the cookies. Light brown sugar keeps cookies soft and chewy, giving them a delicious brown sugar flavour. Granule Sugar: A small amount of granulated sugar gives cookies the perfect amount of crunch on the edges. You get the best of both worlds. Eggs: Eggs combine cookies. One egg and yolk are soft, chewy, and not too cakey texture to these cookies. Vanilla Extract: Vanilla is extremely essential for chocolate chip cookies. It may seem unimportant as we use small amounts, but it takes cookies to the next level. If your budget allows, we highly recommend using 100% pure vanilla extract. Flour: All Purpose Flour is the perfect flour for these chewy cookies. Creates soft but hearty bread crumbs. When measuring flour, carefully measure using a spoon to enlarge the flour. It is best to add the first cup and add the remaining 3/4 cups little by little to make sure there is no too much flour. Brown butter evaporates when it turns brown. This means that the amount of butter depends on the brown length, which can lead to less liquid in the cookie dough. See the instructions for more information on this! Baking Soda: Little baking Soda gives your cookies the perfect rise and crackle on top. Make sure you use baking soda (not baking powder)! I’m lazy so I don’t put the dried ingredients in another bowl and stir together, but I like to add flour, salt and baking soda on top before folding to ensure that the baking soda and salt are properly incorporated is! Chocolate: These pistachio chocolate chip cookies require a bar of white chocolate and dark chocolate. The sweet white chocolate and bitter dark chocolate combination is perfect! If you only have chips on hand, you can definitely use chocolate chips instead. Do not melt cleanly at all. Pistachio: Of course, it’s not a pistachio chocolate chip cookie without pistachio. I used both roasted and raw pistachios when testing these, but I prefer roasted pistachios. If you only have fresh pistachios, you can roast them before using if you have time, or use raw use. I don’t really get the flavor. Salt: Baked goods require salt. Without it, they’re just sweet and sweet. The salt adds a completely subtle salty flavour, pushing the baked goods from good to great.

How to store pistachio chocolate chip cookies for optimal freshness
These cookies don’t last long in my home, but if you want to prepare them beforehand or have leftovers, there are a few ways you can prepare and store these cookies.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Store cookies in the fridge as they last longer. You can store it at room temperature, but by the third day you’ll stare at it to taste a little old! Freeze the dough – Scoop the dough into a bowl, freeze, and make fresh baked cookies anytime. When you’re ready to bake, sit at the counter for 30 minutes to thaw and then bake! Freeze the freshly baked cookies – let them cool completely and then store in the freezer in a safe container or plastic bag for up to 3 months!

material
3/4 cup (100 g) Roasted pistachios, finely ground
3/4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup (150 g) Stuffed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (50 g) Granule Sugar
1 Big egg + 1 Big egg yellow
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Almond extract (optional)
1 3/4 cup (210 g) All-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2.5 Ounce White chocolate, almost chopped
3 Ounce Dark chocolate roughly chopped
Instructions
Place the pistachios in a high-power blender or food processor and pulse for 30 seconds or grind them into thin flour. Don’t continue to fuse. Otherwise, it will become pistachio butter! Please put it aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Use a rubber spatula to mix until combined. Add eggs, egg yolk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix well. Add ground pistachios, flour, baking soda and salt, fold and fold until there are no flour stripes. Fold the chopped white and dark chocolate chocolate. It’s not a mixover. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes or overnight. When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F and arrange the parchment on the cookie sheet. Using a 2-ounce cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough into a bowl and separate it 2 inches on the prepared sheet (which can usually fit six in a cookie sheet!). Bake until the edges turn golden brown and the center is bulging out, but still in the middle of the 11-12 minutes it’s still terrible. Let it cool before eating!
