I had been promising to make him a batch of oatmeal cookies for a while, when I thought up the idea for adding pistachios instead of pecans & swapping decadent dark chocolate for regular chips. Both Andrew & I ate the results up like they were about to catch on fire!
These oatmeal gems were chewy & soft, a great combo in any cookie, but in my opinion, it's the perfect oatmeal cookie. Warm, melty dark chocolate mixed with the distinct flavor of pistachios: yum. What I love most about this cookie recipe though is how none of the ingredients overpower the others. I purposely didn't load these up with chocolate, pistachios or even oatmeal, so they could all share the spotlight. It worked like a charm. These are so tasty & just the right amount of comfort food meets fun twist.
3/4c. butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. white sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 T. vanilla
2 eggs
2 c. flour, all purpose
2 c. old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 c. dark chocolate, chips or chopped
1/2 c. pistachios, roughly chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream melted, cooled butter with both brown & white sugars. Mix in baking soda, salt, cinnamon, vanilla and eggs. Add flouring, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in rolled oats, dark chocolate and pistachios. Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, distributed dough onto greased cookie sheets. (Tip: I prefer using silicone mats or parchment paper for cookies. It really does make a big difference & clean up is easy.)
Bake 8-10 minutes & remove from oven. Allow them to set while still on pan 2 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack.
