Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and water. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This will act as your egg substitute.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the chia seed mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the cookies remain tender.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped pistachios evenly through the batter.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 9

Gently press each cookie slightly to flatten the tops for even baking.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Enjoy your vegan pistachio cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite plant-based beverage!
