Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 120 grams dried cherries, roughly chopped
- 100 grams white chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped pistachios, dried cherries, and white chocolate chips (if using).
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
