Description

Thick, bakery-style cookies packed with pistachios, toffee bits, and chocolate chips, finished with a touch of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet and salty balance. Inspired by Gideon’s Bakehouse, these cookies are soft in the center, crisp on the edges, and full of rich, indulgent flavor.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup toffee bits

1/2 cup shelled roasted pistachios, roughly chopped

Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, toffee bits, and chopped pistachios.
Scoop out large dough balls (about 3 tablespoons each) onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Sprinkle the tops of each dough ball lightly with flaky sea salt.
Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking results in thicker, chewier cookies.

Swap chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks for a richer flavor.

For added crunch, press extra toffee bits on top before baking.

Store with a slice of bread in an airtight container to keep cookies soft.

Dough can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours before baking.
