Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Gluten-Free Pistachio Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Process raw pistachios in a food processor until coarse and sand-like, careful not to overprocess.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine processed pistachios, almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt; whisk to mix.
  4. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and almond extract to dry ingredients; stir until cohesive dough forms.
  5. Roll tablespoon-sized amounts of dough into balls and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  6. Flatten each ball gently and press a few pistachios on top before baking.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
