Directions: |
Directions:Whisk flour, cocoa powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on high spped, beat butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low and graduallly add dry ingredients; mix just to combine, then mix in egg white. Fold in chocolate and pistachios.
Divide dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into an 8" long log about 1.5 " in diameter, pushing dough together if it feels crumbly. Wrap tightly in parchment paper and chill until firm, at least 4 hours. (the colder the dough, the easier to slice)
Place racks in lower and upper thirds of oven and preheat to 350º. Working with 1 log of dough at a time and using a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/4 " thick rounds and transfer to 2 parchment lined cookie sheets, spacing about 1/2" apart. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt and bake, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until set around edges and centers look dry, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool. Dough can be made 1 month ahead if freezing. Slice frozen logs into rounds just before baking. If freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap. |

Notes: I could not find raw, unsalted pistachios anywhere (Earthfare, Whole Foods, etc), so I just used roasted/unsalted and rolled them around in a bowl together until the "skin" just under the shell deteriorated and fell off. I also just used kosher salt to top the cookies before baking, but very sparingly. These came out very well and in fact the first person to sample them, Dolly, pronounced them "the perfect cookie," with just enough chocolate/sweet/salt! Also, I did use the bittersweet chocolate.
