My sister-in-law makes the best pistachio cookies. I’d rather not admit how many I can eat in one sitting. I always look forward to holidays or other times when we get to see her since she usually brings a batch.
I had a craving for her cookies the other day and since we’re not going to see her anytime soon, I decided it was time to make something similar.
Enter these cookies. While these are different than the ones she makes, we really loved them.
The pistachio flavor is just the right amount and the white chocolate chips are a great compliment.
I added some extra chopped pistachios, which gave a nice bit of crunch to the cookies.
They are really moist – and quite good straight from the oven. I may or may not have burned my mouth since I was a little impatient to let them cool down….

Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and two kinds of sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.

Hi, I just found your website via Food daily buzz, and so glad I did.. This recipe caught my eye since I LOVE anything pistachio. I tried a pistachio muffin recipe last week which didn’t come out tasting like I hoped they would, so I think I’ll give these a try. Just wondering does your s-i-l put white choc. chips in hers? Oh yeah! Can’t wait to try your scrumptious looking egg nog waffles w/cinnamon whipped cream too! Yum! Time to go check out some more of your recipes,. So glad I found you!

Yes, she does also use white chocolate chips! Her version is shaped more like snowball cookies… they don’t spread much at all. But they do taste oh so good : )
