2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup real white chocolate chunks, or 4 oz.
2/3 cup whole, salted, shelled pistachios

Preheat the oven to 350. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add the dry ingredients. Fold in the white chocolate and nuts.
