Salted Honey Pistachio Cookies
These cookies combine the sweetness of honey and sugar with the crunch of pistachios, finished with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 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
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt plus more for sprinkling
- ½ cup honey
For the Topping
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the honey and chopped pistachios.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also add chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
