Dark chocolate chips and pistachios are a winning combination in this easy cookie recipe that will appeal to anyone with a craving for sweet and salty treats.

Ingredients

1/4 cup crushed pistachios
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup crushed pistachios
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats (such as Silpat®).
2 Place 1/4 cup crushed pistachios in a food processor and process to a powder.
3 Transfer pistachio powder to a bowl and stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.
4 Combine butter and both sugars in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Gradually stir in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in remaining 1 cup crushed pistachios and dark chocolate chips.
5 Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 3/4 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, 8 to 10 minutes more.
