Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the chia seed mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the cookies remain tender.
Fold in the chopped pistachios evenly through the batter.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently press each cookie slightly to flatten the tops for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
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.
Enjoy your vegan pistachio cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite plant-based beverage!
