Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pistachios (roasted and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the almond flour mixture until a thick dough forms.
  6. Fold in Additions: Stir in chopped pistachios and chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack

Notes
