Description
These chewy, soft chocolate chip pistachio cookies (vegan) are packed with chocolate chips and crunchy pistachios. They are made in one bowl, with no chilling of the dough, and ready in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/3 (67 g) cup white sugar
1/3 (67 g) cup brown sugar
1/3 cup (76 g) softened vegan butter, softened.
1/4 (62 g)cup plant-based milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup (170 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (70 g) pistachios plus more for sprinkling on top
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the sugars and butter: In a large bowl, mix the white sugar, brown sugar, and softened vegan butter until well combined and shiny.
3. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until smooth.
4. Add the dry ingredients: Next, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
5. Fold in the mix-ins: Gently fold the chocolate chis and pistachios, reserving a few pistachios for later.
6. Form the cookies: Scoop out 12 equal-sized dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each ball with your hand.
7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
8. Add the finishing touches: As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle the reserved pistachios and a little sea salt on top for that perfect salty-sweet finish.
9. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely—if you can resist eating them right away!

Notes
Avoid using melted butter, as it will result in flat cookies. For the best texture, make sure the butter is softened and at room temperature before mixing.
Don't overmix the cookie dough. This can cause flat cookies.
Keep an eye on the cookies. Don't overbake them.
How do I know when the cookies are ready? Your cookies are ready when the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft and slightly underbaked. This usually happens around the 10-minute mark. They’ll firm up as they cool on the baking sheet, so don’t worry if they seem a bit soft when you take them out of the oven. Look for slightly puffed centers and golden brown edges for that perfect chewy texture!
