lemony pistachio white chocolate chip cookies

a simple, twerk on my brother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe.

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, browned & slightly cooled

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 large egg, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking soda

1 4oz bar white chocolate, roughly chopped

1/4 cup of pistachios, shelled & chopped

the zest of 1 lemon, finely chopped

preheat oven to 350º

combine sugars & butter until combined. add egg & vanilla. until smooth

gradually incorporate flour & baking soda.

fold in most of the chocolate, pistachios, reserving a quarter of each for topping.

use parchment paper & a small dough scoop. one scoop per cookie straight onto the parchment paper.

place a chunk of chocolate and a few pistachios on the top of cookies, for the beauty and the bite.

bake @ 350 degrees for 10 mins, or until the outer edge is just set

finish with flaky or kosher salt immediately upon removal.

let cool for 10 mins before devouring.
