FLOURLESS ALMOND COOKIES WITH CARDAMOM, ORANGE ZEST, AND PISTACHIOS



Flourless Almond Cookies with Cardamom, Orange Zest, and Pistachios image

Both cardamom and pistachios are essential ingredients in Persian dessert making. This dough is delicate because it doesn't contain any gluten, so be sure it's fully chilled and firm before rolling into logs and slicing into cookies.

Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup virgin coconut oil, softened at room temperature
1 large egg
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest (from about 2 oranges)
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup roasted, salted pistachios, finely chopped
3 ounces dark chocolate (for drizzling; optional)

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream sugar and oil in a large bowl until mixture resembles texture of wet sand, about 3 minutes. Add egg and orange zest and beat until just combined.
  • Whisk almond flour, potato starch, cardamom, and salt in a medium bowl. Fold dry ingredients into oil mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
  • Spread pistachios in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide dough into 2 balls. Roll each ball into 1 1/2" wide logs, then roll logs in pistachios to coat; reserve remaining pistachios for decorating, if desired. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 1/2 hours.
  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into 1/4"-thick rounds and arrange on baking sheets (about 12 per sheet). Sprinkle with reserved pistachios, pressing lightly to adhere (alternatively, drizzle with melted chocolate after cookies are baked, see below).
  • Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until undersides are golden, 8-12 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks. Let 1 sheet cool completely before lining again with parchment and baking third batch.
  • If you didn't sprinkle the cookies with pistachios, melt chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between bursts, until chocolate is smooth. Drizzle cooled cookies with chocolate and let set before serving.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dough can be formed into logs 3 days ahead; keep chilled. Cookies can be baked 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use almond paste made with 100% almonds for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the butter and almond paste are at room temperature before creaming together. This will help them blend smoothly and create a light and fluffy dough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting out the cookies. This will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. This will help prevent the edges of the cookies from becoming ragged.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

These almond cardamom cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a delicate almond flavor and a hint of cardamom. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
