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)
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the Topping: Sprinkle sea salt over warm cookies. Optionally, drizzle honey over cooled cookies for extra sweetness.
- Serve: Pair with your favorite drink and savor the delicious blend of sweet honey, crunchy pistachios, and a hint of saltiness.
