Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are finely chopped. Set aside a small handful for garnish.
Add the pitted dates to the food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, ground pistachios (leaving out the garnish), and salt. Mix well.
Pour in the melted coconut oil, add the egg, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Combine well until you form a dough.
Knead the dough gently with your hands, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
Split the dough into equal portions and shape them into your preferred pastry shapes.
Place the shaped pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are about 2 inches apart.
Press the reserved chopped pistachios lightly into the top of each pastry as a garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
