Instructions

Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it turns deep amber, about 5 minutes. Let it cool for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, combine cooled browned butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey, egg, vanilla extract, sea salt, and baking soda. Mix on medium speed for one minute.
Gradually add all-purpose flour at low speed until just combined. Gently fold in chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips (if using).
Using a medium cookie scoop, place dough on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 8 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
