Well, yeah. It's a tasty effort of love. Over a year I could put away a *LOT*
of pistachios.

David's has shelled pistachios as well as sunflower seeds and pine nuts. I
generally buy in-the-shell from the bulk bins at Schnuk's or Meijer.

      Title: Pistachio White Chocolate Chip Cookies
 Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Desserts, Nuts, Chocolate
      Yield: 72 servings

      1 c  Unsalted butter; room temp
      1 c  White sugar
      1 c  Dark brown sugar; packed
      2    Eggs
      2 tb Milk
      2 ts Vanilla extract
  2 1/2 c  Flour
      1 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Kosher salt
      1 c  Rolled oats
  1 1/2 c  Coarse chopped pistachios;
           - raw, unsalted
  1 1/2 c  White chocolate chips

  Preheat the oven to 350oF. Cream the butter and sugars
  together on high speed for three minutes.

  Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat for 3 minutes,
  being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure
  even mixing.

  In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking
  powder, salt, and rolled oats. Add the dry ingredients to
  the butter mixture slowly, being sure to scrape down the
  sides and bottom of the bowl once or twice to ensure even
  mixing.

  Fold in the pistachios and white chocolate chips. Drop
  heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets,
  add an extra pistachio or two on top of each bit of dough
  for decoration if desired.

  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to set
  up on the cookie sheets before moving to a baking rack to
  cool completely.

  Makes 6 dozen.
