Pistachio Butter: Opt for high-quality pistachio butter for maximum flavor; homemade works wonders too.

Vanilla Extract: Choose pure vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile beautifully.

How to Make Flourless Pistachio Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pistachio butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be slightly fluffy—this is where your muscles get a workout!
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don’t rush this step; patience allows everything to blend beautifully.
Stir in the vanilla extract along with baking soda and salt until fully incorporated. The batter should have a lovely green hue from the pistachios—so vibrant and inviting!
Fold in the chocolate chips gently—this isn’t a wrestling match! Just ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheets. Leave some space between each cookie because they spread out while baking.
Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Once cooled (if you can resist), enjoy these delightful Flourless Pistachio Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or cup of coffee! Each bite bursts with flavors that’ll have you coming back for more; trust me on this one!
