Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by creaming together unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Gradually incorporate flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until the dough just comes together.
  4. Fold in chopped roasted pistachios and chocolate chunks gently with a spatula.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
