Notes
- The batter will be thick. I like to mix the dough using the paddle attachment on my stand mixer.
- Use a cookie scoop to measure your dough and create uniformly-sized cookies.
- If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, use regular chocolate chips instead.
- You can use whole pistachios, but I prefer to chop them.
- For a brighter green color, add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough before baking.
- Chilling the dough is not required, but you can refrigerate it for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Dust the finished cookies with a bit of powdered sugar before serving.
- The cookies should not be gooey in the middle.
- Cookies are done when they begin to crack on the surface.
- Plan to cook these in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
- Storage – keep baked cookies in an airtight container on the countertop for about a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
