Ingredients

Scale

1 cup butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pistachios
1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until deep amber, about 5 minutes. Cool for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, combine cooled browned butter with sugars and mix for 1 minute. Add honey, egg, vanilla, sea salt, and baking soda; mix until combined.
Gradually incorporate flour on low speed until just combined. Stir in pistachios and chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for approximately 8 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
