Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 3 to 4 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the pistachio cream into the mixture and mix until fully combined.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating well until blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, folding gently.
  6. Fold in the chopped chocolate and crushed pistachios until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each ball.
  8. Bake the cookies for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and centers are slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
