Brown Butter and Honey Pistachio Cookie Bars
These bars combine nutty brown butter, sweet honey, and crunchy pistachios.
Equipment
- 8x8 inch baking pan
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted until lightly browned
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 3.5 tablespoons Don Victor Honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1.25 teaspoons flaky sea salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup shelled salted pistachios roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick spray; set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until it just starts to brown—be careful not to overdo it!
- In a large bowl, mix the browned butter, brown sugar, and honey until smooth. Add the egg and yolk, whisking until combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt and all the flour, being careful not to overmix!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle with the remaining salt and chopped pistachios.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes, until the edges are set and the top is golden, but the center remains slightly soft.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cool, cut into small squares and enjoy!
