Deliciously Healthy Pistachio Cookies

A guilt-free treat that’s packed with flavor and nutrition, perfect for a quick snack or dessert.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Raw Pistachios (Can substitute with almonds)
  • 1 cup Almond Flour (Oat flour can be used for nut-free)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup (Agave syrup or honey can be alternatives)
  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil (Substitute with unsalted butter if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional but highly recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract (Can be omitted if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until finely chopped but not powdery.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, sea salt, and chopped pistachios.
  4. In another bowl, mix the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality pistachios for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the dough; gently fold until combined for a tender cookie.
