- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
