Pistachio Caramel Cookies

Print Recipe

Pistachio Caramel Cookies are chewy, buttery cookies studded with crunchy pistachios and pockets of gooey caramel, offering the perfect balance of salty and sweet in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped pistachios and caramel pieces.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use soft caramel candies to ensure a gooey texture — avoid hard caramels.
  • Lightly toast the pistachios for extra flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
