Gluten-Free Vegan Pistachio Cookies
Equipment
- 1 Mixer
- 1 Baking tray
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp gluten-free flour
- 1 ¼ cup maple crystals
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup raw pistachios
- ¼ teaspoon flakey sea salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ⅔ cup pistachio butter
- ¼ cup coconut butter make sure it is smooth and silky
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the flax egg by combining the water and ground flaxseed together in a small bowl. Mix and set aside for 5-10 minutes. Next, add the coconut butter (make sure it's the right consistency), pistachio butter, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the flax egg with a handheld mixer, or stand mixer.
- Sift the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Add the pistachios and mix until evenly distributed. Place the dough in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the baking tray with either parchment paper, or sprayed oil. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough balls that should be about the size of your hand. Place on the prepared baking tray. I like to press my gluten-free/vegan cookies down just a tad to help them spread perfectly. Place the cookies in the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Once the cookies are flat with soft centers and slightly crisp edges, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. I honestly recommend enjoying these pistachio cookies chilled. To chill them simply place them in the fridge for 1 hour. Top with flakey sea salt and fresh crushed pistachios. Enjoy!
