Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
Fold in the chopped pistachios using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
