Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup pistachio cream (pistachio spread or paste)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, pistachio cream, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. Fold in pistachios and chocolate chips.
