Put this in your cookie instead.Pistachios are popping up everywhere—so why not in America’s favorite treat too?
This isn’t your average chocolate chip cookie. It’s buttery, sweet, and packed with crunchy pistachios and smooth white chocolate. Want to make it extra special? Add a little lemon zest for a zippy twist! It’s new. It’s bold. It’s delicious.

Gluten-Free White Chocolate Chips Cookies with Pistachios
Makes ~16 three inch cookies
Dry
2 1/3 cups Cup4Cup Multipurpose flour
1/2 cup Oat Flour
1 teaspoon Koda Farms Sweet Rice Flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
Wet
12 tablespoons or 1½ sticks of butter, melted and cooled
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1  large egg yolk
2  large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons yellow sweet potato, cooked and mashed well
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup pistachios, chopped and roasted
Optional: zest of 1 lemon (~1 teaspoon)
**The dough needs to be chilled before baking,**
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and add granulated and brown sugar. Thoroughly mix in sweet potato and smash any lumps completely. Let cool if hot, and then add eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla. Mix well and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, oat flour, rice flour, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix for a few minutes until the dough comes together. Stir in white chocolate chips and pistachios then refrigerate the dough for at least two hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make sure the oven rack is in the center position. Use a large scoop or drop 3 tablespoon-sized balls of dough on the cookie sheet. Space cookies a few inches apart to make room for spreading. Bake for about 13-15 minutes or until cookies are crisped on the edges but still soft in the center. I like to tap the tray of hot cookies on the counter to get the cookies flatter. Let rest for 5 minutes on the sheet and then move to a rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
