Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 🧂
  • 1 cup brown sugar 🟤
  • 2 large eggs 🥚🥚
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour 🌾
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
  • ½ teaspoon salt 🧂

Add-Ins:

  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped 🟢
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips 🍥
  • Optional: food coloring gels (like green, pink, or blue) 🌈

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add in nuts and chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips.
  5. Create swirls: If desired, divide the dough, add food coloring gels, mix until even, then combine portions for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, spacing them apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set but soft in the center.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
