Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Take 6 oz of dried shredded filo dough and mix it with 1 stick of melted butter.

Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven until golden brown, making sure to uncclump the filo shreds as needed.

In a mixing bowl, blend together plenty of butter, honey, pistachio butter, vanilla, and confectioner sugar until creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Add baking powder, a pinch of salt, and enough all-purpose flour until the dough is firm.

Stir in the chopped shelled pistachios and the toasted filo shreds.

Drop tablespoon scoops of the cookie batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, optionally pressing them down for a flatter cookie.

Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes at 375°F.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before dipping them in melted chocolate and topping with chopped pistachios or using a piping bag to decorate with chocolate.

Serve the cookies on a platter and conduct a taste test.
