Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
Fold in Pistachios and White Chocolate: Add the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips, folding them into the dough.
Shape and Bake the Cookies: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are set but soft. Let cool on a wire rack.
Melt and Drizzle the White Chocolate: Melt the remaining white chocolate in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring in between. Drizzle or spoon the melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies, and sprinkle with additional chopped pistachios. Let the white chocolate set before serving.

Notes

For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar or slightly underbake.

For a deeper flavor, toast the pistachios lightly before adding them to the dough.

If using salted pistachios, reduce the added salt in the recipe to avoid over-salting.
