Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Soften butter until a thumb leaves a gentle impression.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour Measure by spooning into the cup and leveling.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios Chop unevenly for a mix of crunch and tender flecks.
For the Drizzle
  • 1 cup pistachio cream Warm briefly if too thick for easier drizzling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped pistachios.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the pistachio cream over the top. Allow the cream to set before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; separate layers with parchment to protect the drizzle.
