Directions:
In large mixing bowl, combine butter and two sugars. Using electric mixer on medium-high, beat until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl. Add egg; beat 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla.
In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and kosher salt.
In several batches, ass butter mixture and beat on low just until incorporated. Beat in the chocolate and pistachios.
Scoop dough, about 2 tbsp (30 ml) per cookie, on to parchment-lines baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between each. Sprinkle generously with smoked sea salt.
Bake in batches in preheated 350 F (180 C) oven until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Store in airtight container up to 5 days or freeze up to one month.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Purchase pre-shelled pistachios to save a whole lot of time. Or shell them the night before while watching TV. Saves so much time.
The whole family searches for these before and after Christmas to scoff down. And they do last longer than 1 month in the freezer in an airtight container. Unless the kids find them first!
I usually make 2 batches for the family. And have used these for a cookie exchange which went over very well.
