Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled raw pistachios
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup salted pistachios roughly chopped
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add the pistachios to a food processor or blender and pulse until they are finely ground.
- Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat them until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs, extracts, and ground pistachios and mix until combined.
- Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Use a spatula to mix the chopped pistachios and chocolate chips into the dough by hand.
- Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2-2 ½ tablespoons) to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
