Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Cream Butter & Sugar:
- In a stand mixer (or large bowl with a hand mixer), beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
-
Combine & Fold:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
-
Shape & Bake:
- Roll two heaping tablespoons of dough into a ball. Tear the ball in half and place the torn side down on the baking sheet.
- Stack the second half on top, leaving about 2 inches for spreading.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The centers may look underbaked but will set while cooling.
-
Cool & Serve:
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- For extra chewiness: Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Nut-free version: Swap pistachios for macadamia nuts or omit them entirely.
