Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios roughly chopped
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the honey and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Substitute half of the pistachios with chocolate chips for a delicious chocolate-pistachio combination.
