Chocolate Chip Salted Pistachio Cookies

Loooooove a good chocolate chip cookie. Any time. Anywhere. This recipe adds in my favorite crunch nut, the salted pistachio. Making these cookies with large chocolate chunks add a bigger ratio of chocolate to batter so it will look a bit loose, don’t worry. It all comes together perfectly. If you do not have Maldon Salt on hand, order some now and thank me later.

Ingredients

1. 1 cup butter (16 tbsp), melted and still warm

2. ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar

3. ½ cup sugar

4. 1 large egg

5. 2 tsp vanilla extract

6. 1¾ cups flour

7. 2 tbsp malted milk powder

8. ½ tsp kosher salt

9. ½ tsp smoked sea salt

10. ½ tsp baking powder

11. ¼ tsp baking soda

12. 1 (12 oz) bag semisweet chocolate chunks

13. 1 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375F.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar with a wooden spoon until well combined, about 1 minute. Add in the egg and vanilla, and stir until well combined, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour, milk powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, mixing until just combined. Mix in the chocolate chips and pistachios, stirring until evenly distributed.

3. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2-3 inches between cookies.

4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on pan for just a minute, then transfer to cooling rack.
