- Granulated sugar makes the cookies sweet and chewy – brown sugar is also a delicious substitute.
- Egg binds the cookies together.
- Vanilla enhances the flavor of the white chocolate and the pistachio.
- Flour helps give the cookies shape and body. Make sure to measure using the scoop and level technique so you don’t end up with dense cookies.
