Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped pistachios gently.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly soft.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Drizzling
  1. Once cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the additional pistachio cream over the top.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze un-drizzled cookies for up to 2 months.
