Chocolate and Pistachio Cookies

Posted on April 21, 2016

Big bakery-style chocolate and pistachio cookies are the ultimate cookie treat! I feel a little bad because I’ve been keeping these cookies to myself for a few weeks now. They are exactly what I expect a perfect bakery-style cookie to be: BIG (when it comes to cookies, bigger really is better) Full of contrasting texture…

Cranberry and White Chocolate Pistachio Dusted Cookies

Posted on August 10, 2015

Chewy cookies loaded with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips then coated with layers of MORE white chocolate AND pistachios. Last week I needed a dessert to use as a thank you gift and wanted something pretty and portable. Cookies are always great for that sort of thing but this time I felt like jazzing…

Brown Butter Pistachio Cake with Candied Pistachio Topping

Posted on March 17, 2014

This brown butter pistachio cake is so moist and flavorful that no one will miss the buttercream! We celebrated my dad’s birthday last night so it was only fitting that I make him another pistachio treat.  Last year I baked these cupcakes which were a huge hit with everyone who tried them, but admittedly my…

Pistachio Muffins

Make these hearty pistachio muffins for a holiday brunch with friends! I made it through the weekend, and pretty much in one piece.

A summer fruit crisp topped with buttery crumb topping and crunchy pistachios.  It just so happens it is gluten-free! I don’t know if I mentioned this on here, but my sister was living with us for a few months.  Her NYC lease ended in April, she relocated to my Parents this past weekend and then…

(Real) Pistachio Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Buttercream

Posted on March 10, 2013

Flavorful pistachio cupcakes made from scratch and topped with the best brown sugar buttercream. My dad isn’t a dessert person. I know, cover your mouth in horror!  Him and my sister both… my mom and I, we are just made differently.  Actually, I relate to my dad in a lot of other ways.  His math…

Chocolate Chunk Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies

Posted on July 29, 2012

In my undying adoration of peanut butter over the years, I’ve looked past some other nuts that are just as delicious.  Sure, I’ve shown almonds some love (even cashews, too).  But in all this time, I’ve ignored pistachios. Well, one giant bag of pistachios from Costco later and I won’t ever make that mistake again. …
