Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Pistachios, shelled and unsalted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder

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 0.5 cup of pistachios until they are finely ground. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, ground pistachios, salt, ground cinnamon, and baking powder.

Step 4

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If necessary, use your hands to bring the dough together.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a rough oval or rectangle about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Place the shaped pastries onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Coarsely chop the remaining 0.25 cup of pistachios and sprinkle them over the pastries.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve the low carb pistachio pastries at room temperature or slightly warm.
