Gluten Free Chocolate Pistachio Cookies

cook:

40 min

5.0

(1)

If there's one thing that always excites me about gluten-free products, it's that their gluten-free versions often surpass their gluten-containing counterparts. When it comes to making cookies, substituting almond flour for all-purpose not only yields a delightful taste and essence but also creates a wonderfully soft, fudgy texture. These cookies are a delightful fusion of chocolate and pistachios, both inside and out. Whisking the egg whites to soft peaks and gently folding them into the cookie dough makes these cookies even lighter and more enjoyable! Give them a try.

These instructions are wrong. They do not match the video and the metrics in the recipe do not match the ingredients portion.

When do you add in the melted butter and chocolate? I can’t figure out where that step goes. Thanks. Also, mixing the dry ingredients is serious business - had the texture of heavy, clumpy, wet sand. I’m hoping that’s what’s supposed to happen!

These are insanely and deliciously chocolatey! Definitely for the chocolate lovers. Loved them! I will note that I only used 4 oz of chocolate melted with the butter (because I didn’t buy enough, whoops) and they were still wonderful. As well, the recipe doesn’t mention when to add the butter/chocolate mixture so I made sure it cooled down enough and added it slowly to the eggs and sugar. Thank you!
