Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Process the raw pistachios in a food processor until they achieve a coarse, sand-like texture.
  3. In the mixing bowl, add almond flour, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt to the processed pistachios.
  4. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture; stir until a soft dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Flatten each cookie ball and press extra pistachios on top before baking.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden-brown edges form, keeping the center soft.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
