Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the raw pistachios until they reach a coarse texture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine pulsed pistachios with almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
  4. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the dry mixture, stir to form a dough.
  5. Scoop and roll the dough into small balls, place them on the baking sheet, and flatten slightly.
  6. Optional: Press a few whole or chopped pistachios into the tops of the cookies.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
