Dark Chocolate Pistachio Slice and Bake Cookies are buttery, crisp-edged cookies studded with roasted pistachios and chunks of dark chocolate. Easy to prep ahead, these cookies are perfect for everyday snacking or elegant gifting.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (roasted, unsalted preferred)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
  • Optional: coarse sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar (if using) until light and fluffy.
  2. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Add flour and salt, mixing just until dough forms. Fold in chopped pistachios and chocolate.
  4. Divide dough and roll into two logs about 1.5–2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours or freeze for later use.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Slice chilled dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Roll edges in coarse sugar if desired. Arrange on baking sheet with spacing.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill the dough well to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
  • Rolling the edges in coarse sugar adds texture and sparkle.
  • Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Bake cookies straight from frozen—just add 1–2 minutes to baking time.
