These Salted Honey Pistachio Cookies offer a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors, with a delightful crunch from the pistachios. The drizzle of honey adds a touch of extra sweetness to these chewy, buttery cookies.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped

For the Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Honey and Egg: Mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  6. Fold in Pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed in the dough.
  7. Shape the Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Flatten the Dough: Gently press each dough ball with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Sprinkle Salt: While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle the coarse sea salt over the top of each cookie.
  12. Drizzle Honey (Optional): For added sweetness, drizzle a little honey over the cookies once they are cool.
  13. Serve: Enjoy these cookies with your favorite beverage for a delightful treat!

Notes

  • For a more intense honey flavor, consider using a flavored honey variety.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
