Instructions
Cookie Preparation
- Start by chopping your pistachios and dark chocolate into generous chunks. Reserve a handful of pistachios for topping later.
- In a spacious bowl, whisk the melted vegan butter together with coconut sugar until clumpy and well combined. Incorporate the cashew milk, vanilla paste, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, then add the dark chocolate chunks and chopped pistachios, mixing evenly.
- Using a 3-tablespoon scoop, portion out the dough onto a lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once chilled, place mounds onto a lined baking tray, pressing the reserved pistachios on top. Bake for about 12 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool before transferring them to an airtight container.
Notes
Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for extra indulgence. Always chill dough to prevent spreading.
