Pistachio & White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am not a huge chocolate fan, but I do love white chocolate.  Last year I happened upon this recipe and tried it out — a total winner.  Very tasty.  One of Gavin’s favorite cookies that I have made!  Remember that you don’t have to make all of the cookies at once.  You can roll them up into little balls, make however many you want, and then freeze the rest in a freezer bag, then pop into the oven and add on one or two extra minutes to the cooking time.
