Pin ItMy December “to do” list is very long, but I am ignoring it. I haven't been in a productive mood. I've been hiding my list so I can stay in my pajamas all day, watch holiday movies with Caleb, read my book, and BAKE! I may not have any Christmas shopping done and our halls are not decked, but I do have cookies! I made Dark Chocolate Chunk, Pistachio, and Sea Salt Cookies and they are divine! That counts for something right?
Cookies are my favorite part of December! I love baking old favorites and creating new recipes.
These Dark Chocolate Chunk, Pistachio, and Sea Salt Cookies are a new favorite. I love dark chocolate and pistachio together and they taste even better in cookie form!
If you are feeling lazy like me this month, make sure you buy shelled pistachios. Otherwise, you are going to be spending your day shelling pistachios. I guess that wouldn't be a bad thing if you have a holiday movie to watch. Another reason to not be productive:)
These cookies are perfect! The edges are crisp and the centers are soft and chewy. The pistachios, dark chocolate chunks, and sea salt make the buttery cookies irresistible. The pistachios also add a festive pop of color which makes them the perfect holiday cookie!
Ignore your “to do” list and bake Dark Chocolate Chunk, Pistachio, and Sea Salt Cookies. And if you are in the zone and not willing to ignore your list, just add Bake Dark Chocolate Chunk Pistachio, and Sea Salt Cookies to the top of your list. Then you can feel accomplished. Either way, enjoy some cookies! Happy baking!
