Scale
1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (165g) light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup (120g) shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
1 ¼ cups (200g) dark chocolate chunks
Flaky sea salt for topping
2 tablespoons pistachio cream (for stuffing or swirling)
½ teaspoon ground cardamom (for Pistachio Cardamom variation)
Instructions
Beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture and mix just until combined.
Gently fold in chopped pistachios and chocolate chunks.
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto lined baking sheets. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after baking. Cool 5 minutes on sheet before transferring to a rack.
