Ingredients
- 1 cup pistachios raw, large and shelled
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pulse the pistachios in the food processor until they are fairly crumb-like - a few lumps are fine you just don't really want large pieces.
- Add the ground almonds, oats, melted butter, honey and egg and pulse a few times to mix well. The mixture will be fairly sticky.
- Divide the dough into 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls using a spring-loaded scoop. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until cookies are firm and slightly golden at the edges. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes
- Recipe: This recipe was adapted from Caroline's Cooking.
- Storage: When the cookies are completely cool, they can be stored in an airtight container or frozen.
- Freezing Instructions: You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until they are completely frozen. Then transfer them to freezer bags or an airtight container. To reheat the frozen cookies, bake in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, or until until warmed through.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However, to make these vegan you can substitute the honey for maple syrup and you can swap the egg for a flax egg.
