Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup pistachio cream (plus extra for drizzling)
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature while you prepare the dough.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take a few minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth, providing moisture and flavor to the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the cookie tough.
  6. Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the roughly chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips to evenly distribute nuts and sweetness throughout the dough.
  7. Swirl in Pistachio Cream: Carefully swirl in the pistachio cream using a spatula, being cautious not to overmix so that pockets of creamy pistachio remain visible within the dough.
  8. Press Dough into Skillet: Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet and press the dough evenly into the bottom, spreading it out to the edges to ensure even baking.
  9. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set but still soft for a gooey texture.
  10. Cool and Garnish: Allow the skillet cookie to cool slightly before drizzling additional pistachio cream over the top and sprinkling with flaky sea salt if desired, enhancing both flavor and texture.
  11. Serve Warm: Slice into 8 servings and serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey texture, slightly underbake the cookie and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • You can substitute pistachio cream with Nutella or almond butter for a delicious flavor variation.
  • Use a greased or parchment-lined cast iron skillet for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for optimum dough consistency.
