Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pistachios
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns a lovely brown color and smells nutty.
- Remove the browned butter from heat and stir in the brown sugar and honey until well combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract until a smooth dough forms.
- Fold in the chopped pistachios, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly, and sprinkle optional chopped nuts on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but slightly soft.
- Let cool completely before lifting the bars out and cutting them into squares.
Notes
Store leftover bars in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze for three months.
