Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Tonight, Jason made these awesome cookies! We love pistachios, and of course we love cookies, but we never thought of combining the two until we found this recipe. It makes a ton of cookies ---6 dozen to be exact.


Pistachio Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of dark brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of kosher salt (regular salt will suffice)
1 1/2 cups of coarsely chopped pistachios, raw and unsalted
1 1/2 cups of chocolate chunks

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream the butter and sugars together on high speed for three minutes
3. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat for 3 minutes, (scrape down the sides of the bowl)
4. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt
5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture slowly
6. Fold in the pistachios and chocolate chunks
7. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to set up on the cookie sheets before moving to a baking rack to cool completely.
