Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Mixer
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • measuring cups
  • spatula
  • wire rack

Ingredients
  

Butter and Sugars

  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs at room temp
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoon dried milk powder

Add-ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped, roasted pistachios
  • sea salt flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

Making Browned Butter

  • Start by browning the butter. Cube the butter into small cubes and place it into a small saucepan.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and begins to simmer, reduce the heat to a medium-low.
  • As you continue to cook the butter, the foam will settle, and the milk solids will sink to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook until the butter turns a golden-brown color, then remove it from the heat. Strain the butter through a fine-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup.
  • Chill the browned butter in the refrigerator for about 1 to 1 ½ hours, until it’s cooled down to room temperature.

Making the Cookie Dough

  • Preheat the oven to 375F°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Pour the cooled, browned butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the white and brown sugars, then use a mixer to cream the butter and sugar together for about 4 minutes.
  • Next, add in the eggs and vanilla and beat again for a few minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, sea salt, and dried milk powder. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and mix just until well combined.
  • Add the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios last and fold them into the cookie dough.
  • Use a large measuring scoop (1 ½ tablespoons) to measure out the dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.

Baking Instructions

  • Bake the cookies at 375F° for exactly 10 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
  • Transfer the cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Allow cookies to cool slightly before enjoying. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
