Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Binding:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pistachio cream
Flavor Enhancers and Leavening:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring even surface coverage.
- Combine softened butter with brown and granulated sugars, whipping until achieving a light, airy texture with minimal graininess.
- Incorporate pistachio cream smoothly into the butter mixture, then add eggs individually, blending after each addition to maintain emulsion.
- Introduce vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to distribute flavor evenly.
- Separately, blend flour, baking soda, and salt using a whisk to eliminate potential lumps.
- Gradually integrate dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent gluten development and maintain tender cookie texture.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring uniform distribution.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion dough into uniform balls approximately 1 tablespoon in size.
- Arrange cookie portions on prepared baking sheet with sufficient spacing to allow spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges while preserving soft, slightly underbaked centers.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest momentarily before transferring to cooling racks to prevent continued cooking.
Notes
- Softening butter properly ensures creamy, smooth cookie texture without overmixing.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Swap chocolate chips with white chocolate or chopped pistachios for unique flavor variations and personalized touch.
- Use gluten-free flour blend for celiac-friendly version without compromising delicious taste and soft cookie consistency.
