Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped

For the Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring to form a dough. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios.
  2. Form the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the baking sheets, flatten slightly with the back of a spoon, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  3. Add the Topping: Sprinkle sea salt over warm cookies. Optionally, drizzle honey over cooled cookies for extra sweetness.
  4. Serve: Pair with your favorite drink and savor the delicious blend of sweet honey, crunchy pistachios, and a hint of saltiness.
