Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Salted Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- Begin by grinding the roasted pistachios into a fine flour using a food processor. Aim for a consistency similar to almond meal, being careful not to over-process them into butter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with both the light brown and granulated sugars. Mix well using a rubber spatula.
- Add the large egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the ground pistachios, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet.
- Carefully fold in the roughly chopped white and dark chocolate pieces into the dough using a spatula.
- Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the chilled dough into 2-ounce balls, placing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for about 12–14 minutes, watching for golden edges while the centers remain slightly gooey.
- After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, sprinkle a touch of flaky salt on top while they're still warm.
