Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter for the filling until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and pistachio paste, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, adjusting the cream for the desired consistency.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, turn half of them upside down and pipe or spread a generous amount of pistachio cream filling on the flat side.
Place the remaining cookies flat side down on top of the filling to create sandwich cookies.
For a firmer filling, refrigerate the assembled cookies for about 30 minutes before serving if desired.
Serve and enjoy the cookies.
