Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- ½ cup + 3 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted butter)
- ½ cup tahini (well-stirred)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar (well packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt + extra for topping
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- ¾ cup shelled pistachios (roughly chopped, raw or roasted)
Instructions
- Preheat and Toast Pistachios: If your pistachios are not roasted, preheat the oven to 350°F, spread pistachios on a baking sheet, and bake for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Brown Butter: Brown the butter until amber, then cool to room temperature.
- Cream: Cream together brown butter, tahini, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add to the batter and mix until just incorporated.
- Add Mix-Ins: Stir in dark chocolate chips and pistachios. Optionally, reserve some for topping cookie dough balls. Refrigerate dough if desired.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Form dough into balls, top with reserved pistachios and chocolate, if desired. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Cool on sheet before transferring to a rack. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
- Refrigerating the dough overnight enhances the flavors.
- Adjust salt levels based on preference.
