Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the pistachios.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
