Equipment

  • Hand mixer
  • Two medium-size bowls
  • Small saucepan
  • Mixing spoon
  • Two baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick of unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of demerara sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp pistachio extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp fine salt
  • 6 oz white chocolate chips
  • 6 oz unsalted pistachios without shells

Instructions

  • Turn on the oven, set it at 375 °F. Also, heat the saucepan to medium-high temperature.
  • Sift the flour into a medium-size bowl. Stir in the baking soda and salt.
  • In the saucepan, melt the butter and mix in the sugars until they slightly dissolve.
  • Pour the butter-sugar mixture into a separate medium-size mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, blend in the vanilla and pistachio extract. Add the lemon zest as well.
  • Let the butter cool down about two minutes and mix in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Add the flour mixture in parts to the liquid ingredients. Use the hand mixer to avoid clumps.
  • With a wooden mixing spoon, stir in the white chocolate chips and pistachios.
  • Line two baking sheets with a parchment paper. Scoop about two tablespoons of cookie dough onto the sheet pans. For chewy, soft cookies bake for fourteen minutes.
  • Take the sheet pans out of the oven and let cool.
