Brown Butter Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Makes 20 to 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 egg + egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 2 2/3 cups All Purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 oz chocolate bar (chopped)
  • 3 oz pistachios (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the butter and let it cool before using. (Tutorial by Sally’s Baking Addiction)
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter and sugars. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the mixture. Mix until you achieve a pale consistency.
  5. Once you have reached this consistency, gently fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
  6. When the dough starts to come together, add the chopped pistachios and chocolate. Save a few pieces of each to use for topping before baking.
  7. Scoop your cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Top each cookie with the reserved pistachios and chocolate chunks.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 to 11 minutes or until the edges are set. I like to go for about 9 to 10 minutes for a gooey cookie.
  9. Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven. To even out the cookies, gently slam the baking sheet on the counter and swirl a cookie cutter or cup around the edge to shape them.
  10. Let cool on the pan for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Enjoy! 🤍
