there is something therapeutic about chocolate chip cookies. they are a comforting dessert that remind me of the warmth of my childhood. even though i love traditional chocolate chip cookies, i also love to try different variations of them too.
in my opinion, you can never go wrong with dark chocolate. i especially love these bittersweet chocolate chips. since the chocolate pieces are so big, they ensure that every bite has just the right amount of dark chocolaty goodness. the addition of the pistachios to these cookies is perfect too. they add just the right amount of crunch.
