Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Pistachio Cookies

I am deeming 2021 the year of the cookie. We always go through so many dessert trends, From frozen yogurt to cupcakes to macarons, there is always a certain dessert that takes off and everyone just  HAS to have.  You will suddenly see specific shops pop up that only  sell that specific dessert and they  do very well. With the recent opening of places like Crumbl, I think the cookie is making a comeback. And who doesn’t like a classic cookie. Is there much better than classic chocolate chip? Add sea salt, good quality dark chocolate and some pistachios, you have a sweet & salty take on the classic that you won’t be able to pass up!
