Ingredients
- 150g shelled pistachios
- 100g ground almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 75g butter, melted and cooled
- 50ml maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa) cut roughly into around inch size chunks or use good quality dark chocolate chips
- Sea salt
Method
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180C.
Place the pistachios in a food processor and break down into smaller pieces but not too fine as you want some texture left in the cookies. Transfer this into to a large bowl and reserve 2 tablespoons for finishing in a separate small bowl.
Add the almonds, bicarbonate of soda and pinch of salt to the food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add in the melted butter, maple syrup, egg, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract and pulse to combine to create a batter.
Add this to the large bowl with the pistachios. Also add in the chocolate chunks or chips and fold through all to combine well.
Place around an ice-cream scoop amount per cookie and spread evenly on the baking tray leaving around 2-3 inch gap between each cookie. Lightly press down and sprinkle the cookies evenly with the remaining pistachios and a little sea salt.
Bake for 10-15mins. Check after 10 mins and if set when lightly pressed in the middle the cookies are done. Allow to cool for at least 20 mins.
