Pistachio Toffee Cookies: The Perfect Nutty-Sweet Treat

If you love a cookie with a balance of textures and flavors, these Pistachio Toffee Cookies are for you. They combine the nutty richness of pistachios with the buttery crunch of toffee, creating a cookie that’s both chewy and crisp around the edges. Every bite offers a delicious mix of salty and sweet, making them the perfect indulgence for any time of day.

Why Pistachio Butter?

Pistachio butter has a uniquely earthy, slightly sweet flavor that sets it apart from other nut butters. In these cookies, the pistachio butter not only adds richness but also deepens the flavor, complementing the sweet bits of toffee. Paired with chopped pistachios for some extra crunch, these cookies deliver a nutty punch in every bite.

The Sweet Crunch of Toffee

Adding toffee to this recipe brings a delightful caramelized crunch. As the cookies bake, the toffee melts slightly, leaving little pockets of sweet, buttery goodness throughout. The combination of the soft, chewy cookie base with the crisp toffee pieces makes for an irresistible texture contrast. Easy to Make, Impossible to Resist.

This recipe comes together quickly, making it a great option for when you want something delicious in a hurry. The dough is simple to mix, and after a short bake, you’ll have a batch of cookies that look as good as they taste. They’re perfect for gifting, bringing to a gathering, or simply enjoying with a cup of coffee at home.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup pistachio butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped toffee
• 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

• Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Cream Butters and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, pistachio butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
• Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
• Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
• Add Toffee and Pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped toffee and pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
• Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
• Garnish: Sprinkle with flaky salt (optional but recommended)
• Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy your chewy, buttery Pistachio Toffee Cookies with their perfect balance of nutty and sweet flavors!
