Ingredients
2 cups bread flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1½ tablespoons coffee grounds
3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1½ cups dark brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and coffee grounds. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly distributed, then set the mixture aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined and slightly lighter in texture.
Gradually add the reserved dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough should come together without visible streaks of flour.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, until the cookies appear soft and underbaked. They will continue to cook and set as they cool on the baking sheet.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up slightly, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
