Description

Delicious Pistachio Dream Cookie Bars with a creamy white chocolate topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookie Base:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios (unsalted)
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the bars are cool, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Pour the melted white chocolate over the cooled cookie bars, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  11. Sprinkle the additional chopped pistachios on top of the white chocolate while it’s still warm.
  12. Allow the topping to set for about 30 minutes, then slice the bars into squares.
  13. Serve and enjoy your Pistachio Dream Cookie Bars.
