Everyone loves the classic chocolate chip cookie. Soft, chewy and packed full of chocolate flavour. Nothing against the classic cookie, but sometimes you just need a change, or what I like to call, an upgrade.

These White Chocolate Pistachio Cookies are the perfect balance between smooth creamy white chocolate and salty nutty pistachios.

Pair these two flavours together and you end up with a cookie that will really impress, while still being able to pair it with a tall glass of milk.

CAN YOU FREEZE WHITE CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO COOKIES?

These cookies are perfect to make ahead and freeze. Allow to cool to room temperature, store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

Recipe tips;

After melting your butter, allow it to cool slightly. This will ensure your cookie dough is not too warm which can cause cookies to spread too much while baking.
To portion out cookie dough, try using an ice cream scoop! This will make sure all cookies are the same size
Looking for a more festive flavour? Try adding in ½ cup dried cranberries.
