FLOURLESS PISTACHIO COOKIES



Flourless Pistachio Cookies image

These pistachio cookies from Jesse Szewczyk are crispy, chewy, and naturally gluten-free. They make a festive, bright-green addition to a Christmas cookie box.

Provided by Jesse Szewczyk

Yield Makes 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups (280 grams) raw or toasted unsalted pistachios (see Note)
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
¾ cup (75 grams) confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set 2 racks at the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, combine the pistachios, granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar, salt, and cardamom. Process until the pistachios are the texture of fine sand and there are no visible pieces of pistachio left, 60 to 90 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the egg whites and vanilla extract. Mix with a rubber spatula until a thick, paste-like dough forms.
  • Using a medium 1¾-inch (#40) cookie scoop or 2 tablespoons, portion out the dough and roll into balls. (The dough will be sticky, so don't fret if they are not perfect balls.) Place the dough balls at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (8 per sheet).
  • Bake both sheets at the same time, swapping the top sheet to the bottom rack and bottom sheet to the top midway through baking, until the tops of the cookies crack and the bottoms are just starting to brown, 12 to 14 minutes. (Don't overbake the cookies. They aren't the kind of cookie that browns that much on the top. It's best to err on the side of underbaking for this recipe.) Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before removing with an offset spatula.

PISTACHIO DESSERT



Pistachio Dessert image

When I first fixed dinner for my father in law, he put this in his mouth and just sit there, I had no idea, I thought he wanted to spit it out, but once he swallowed it, he said he loved it and just wanted to hold it in his mouth. This was his very favorite, and everyone loves this. The cream cheese layer is sometimes hard to spread, I use the back of a large spoon and run cold water over it. Prep time includes 4 hours in the fridge before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Look for fresh, unsalted pistachios and high-quality butter and chocolate.
  • Toast the pistachios: Toasting the pistachios will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. To toast the pistachios, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help the cookies to keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Pistachio cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their vibrant green color and nutty flavor, these cookies are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these pistachio cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
