📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2
Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3
Place ½ cup pistachios in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Remove from food processor to a small bowl and set aside.
4
Place remaining 1 cup pistachios in the food processor. Run the processor until the pistachios become a smooth butter consistency. Every ⏱️ 30 seconds or so, stop the processor and scrape the bottom and sides. It will get dusty, then thick like paste, then eventually smooth like a natural nut butter.
5
Transfer the pistachio butter to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add butter and mix until combined, then add both sugars and cream until fluffy.
6
Mix in egg, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth, then add dry ingredients and mix until dough forms.

7
Add reserved chopped pistachios and chocolate chips.
8
Scoop 2 tablespoon size balls of cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheets, 2-inches apart. Press lightly with the palm of your hand so they’re not super rounded.
9
Bake until the tops are no longer glossy and the edges are light golden brown, about ⏱️ 10-14 minutes. Cool at least ⏱️ 10 minutes before removing from cookie sheets.
10
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze cooled cookies for several months.
