I have never made cookies with pistachios. I now question that decision, especially since I've tasted these delicious treats! These remind me of a shortbread cookie but with itty bitty chunks of pistachio mixed throughout the cookie dough. They're low in sugar, too, but loaded with sweet pistachio flavor.
Ingredients
1 cup raw, shelled
pistachios
¼ cup oat flour
½ cup almond flour
1½ scoops ARO vanilla
whey protein powder, divided
1/3 cup xylitol
½ teaspoon vanilla
extract
Zest of ½ lemon
1 egg
2 tablespoons almond
milk
Method
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Pulse pistachios in a food processor or blender until
pistachios are coarsely ground.
3. Pour pistachios in a large bowl and stir in oat flour,
almond flour, 1 scoop protein powder, xylitol, extract and lemon zest.
4. Whisk together egg and milk in a separate bowl then add to
the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until cookie dough holds its shape when
pressed down.
5. Pour the other ½ scoop of protein powder into a separate
bowl.
6. Roll about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into a ball and
drop it into the bowl of protein powder. Roll cookie in the protein powder until
cookie is fully coated.
7. Place cookies on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper
and flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon.
8. Bake in the oven for 12-16 minutes. Let cool then enjoy!
