Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and baking powder until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine white and brown sugar, softened vegan butter, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk together until butter and sugar become light and fluffy. Then, mix in the egg until combined.
Add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the large bowl and mix until combined. Then repeat with remaining flour.
Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate chips and crushed pistachios. Save the remaining chocolate and pistachios for topping each cookie dough ball before baking.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours (overnight is best).
After chilling, preheat oven to 350℉ and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into 12 balls (slightly less than ¼ cup dough in size) and place each ball 3 inches apart so each baking sheet has 6 balls of dough.
Push 2-3 chocolate chips on top of each dough ball and sprinkle with remaining pistachios.
Bake one tray at a time at 350℉ for 12-14 minutes, turning the tray half way through bake time. The cookies are done when edges are golden brown and the cookies are cooked through to your liking.
Top with sea salt immediately after baking (optional), and let cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes (these cookies are very fragile while hot!).
Repeat the last two steps with the remaining tray.
Enjoy!
