Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup Raw Pistachios Provides flavor and crunch; use fresh pistachios for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Acts as a gluten-free base, providing structure; can be substituted with another nut flour if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Aids in leavening the cookies for a soft texture.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances flavor; use a pinch to balance the sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup Natural sweetener that adds moisture; can substitute with honey or agave syrup, although honey isn’t vegan.
  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil Adds richness and binding; replace with any neutral oil or vegan butter.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Provides aromatic flavor; for added depth, almond extract can also be included.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Process the raw pistachios in a food processor until they reach a coarse, sand-like texture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the processed pistachios, almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well.
  4. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly and place on the baking sheet.
  6. Press whole or chopped pistachios into the top of each cookie for added texture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden-brown around the edges.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
