These cookies have 3 layers: one pistachio, one cherry, one chocolate. Fancy enough for gift-giving or impressing a crowd. These are tender and delicately flavored cookies - the light green color and chocolate drizzle make them stand out on a cookie tray. Nice for holidays or bridal showers. A unique twist on regular chocolate chip cookies.
You can use either salted or unsalted pistachios for this recipe! Keep in mind that if you use salted pistachios your cookies will be a mix of sweet, and well, salty. What other toppings or mix-ins can I add to these pistachio cookies?
You can swap the chopped pistachios for pecans. Or try adding cranberries, orange zest or a frosting glaze similar to this orange pistachio cookies recipe or these pistachio brown butter cookies. 1 cookie: 54 calories, 3g fat (1g saturated fat), 8mg cholesterol, 44mg sodium, 6g carbohydrate (3g sugars, 0 fiber), 1g protein.
