Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw shelled pistachios
• 1 cup Oat flour
• 1 scoop Whey protein powder (vanilla flavored)
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the raw shelled pistachios until finely chopped, but not turned into a paste. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt into the butter and sugar mixture until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing cookies about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

Step 10

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your high protein pistachio cookies or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
