Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial to ensure your cookies bake evenly.
Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Sheet - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make clean-up a breeze.
Step 3: Blend the Pistachios - In a food processor, pulse the pistachio nuts until finely ground. You want them to resemble a coarse flour, but be careful not to turn them into nut butter!
Step 4: Mix the Ingredients - In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, almond flour, and Golden Monkfruit Sweetener. Stir until well mixed. Then, add the beaten eggs and mix until the dough comes together. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 5: Scoop the Dough - Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart, as they will spread slightly during baking.
Step 6: Garnish with Extra Pistachios - Press an extra pistachio into the center of each cookie for a beautiful garnish. This not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the pistachio flavor.
Step 7: Bake the Cookies - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking!
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
