Delicious cookies combining sweet honey and salty flaky sea salt, finished with crunchy pistachios.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and honey until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well mixed.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the chopped pistachios until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place these balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle the tops of each ball with flaky sea salt.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges just turn golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast pistachios lightly before adding to the dough. Don’t overbake; cookies will continue to cook slightly after removing from the oven.
