Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookies are perfect with milk! And when you bring a fresh batch out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes, it gathers everyone in the house. Cookies don’t really last long in our house! Maybe a couple days, max. These pistachio chocolate chip cookies were a huge hit with everyone. Although the recipe states only one cup of chocolate chips, I measure them with my heart, sometimes even close to one and two thirds cups.
