Pistachio White Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped pistachio nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder and baking soda; blend into the creamed mixture to form a dough. Fold in the white chocolate chips and pistachios. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

These sound great!!!

When I was kid, my mom's bank used to have a "pistachio machine" - just like a bubblegum machine --- I loved going in there with her - I stayed on my best behavior because I knew I'd get a dime which would get me more pistachios than my little hands could hold!!

I'll let you know how these turn out!
