Soft, chewy cookie bars with browned butter, honey, and toasted pistachios for a rich, nutty flavor. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped pistachios, toasted
  • Optional flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until golden brown and fragrant (about 5-6 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey. Whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stir until just combined, then fold in the chopped pistachios.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cookie bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

[‘Watch the butter closely while browning to avoid burning.’, ‘Room temperature eggs mix better with the browned butter.’, ‘Cool completely before slicing for optimal texture.’, ‘Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a fancy touch.’]
