Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to blend 1 cup of pistachio cream and ½ cup of softened unsalted butter until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add ¾ cup of granulated sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Sift together 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of sea salt into a separate bowl.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the pistachio mixture with a spatula until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Gently fold in ½ cup of roasted pistachios and ½ cup of chocolate chunks into the dough.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and portion the dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter.
