Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storage
- Once completely cooled, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container for up to three months.
