Every year, I bake a new treat for my friend’s annual Christmas cookie swap, and this year I knew I wanted to bring something a little different. Because I love pistachios, I decided to try a recipe for pistachio and white chocolate cookies, a unique cookie that immediately stood out as a festive and flavorful choice for the holiday table. When I came across a version from food creator Ryan Nordheimer, it felt like the perfect match, and after baking several batches, I knew they were the right pick for this year’s swap.
Ryan deserves full credit for the original recipe, so you can find it here: https://ryannordheimer.com/pistachio-cookies/.
What follows are my personal notes, tips, and suggestions after making several batches. Let’s dive in!
