Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and then mix in the pistachio cream until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the roasted chopped pistachios and chocolate chunks using a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Drop heaping mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers remain slightly soft.
  7. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best texture, and avoid over-mixing to keep cookies tender. Experiment with different chocolate types and nuts to suit your taste.
