Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue to beat until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients.
  • Fold in the chopped pistachios gently until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough, rolling into balls and placing on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cookie ball.

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
