Roasted & salted pistachios. Tons of dark chocolate. Big sea salt flakes. This is cookie perfection.

Ingredients
 

  • 8 ounces unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 ¼ cups roasted & salted pistachios
  • flakey sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan.
  • Pour butter into a large bowl and allow to cool a few minutes. Add sugars and whisk well, until mixture comes together completely, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, stirring to incorporate thoroughly. Mix in vanilla.
  • In a small bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Pour dry ingredients into melted butter mixture. Fold in just until barely combined.
  • Add chocolate and pistachios and fold in gently.
  • Scoop out dough balls (about 3 Tbsp) using a spoon or a large spring-loaded scoop. Place about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until golden brown around edges but centers still look slightly underbaked, about 9-11 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt flakes right when cookies come out of the oven.

Notes

Cookies will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days.
