These naturally green cookies are soft and chewy and perfect for spring gatherings, St. Patrick's Day and other occasions. The cookies are incredibly easy to make with just 2 ingredients. No wheat flour, eggs, refined sugar, dairy, butter or oil.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add pistachio flour to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle maple syrup on top. Stir with a spatula until all of the pistachio flour is coated in syrup. If you pinch a clump of dough, it should stick together. If your dough is not sticking, add a little more syrup.
Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the dough and release it onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough about 2 inches apart. Very lightly wet your hands (to prevent sticking) and then roll each dough ball between your hands to form a smooth round ball. Place back onto cookie sheet. Press down on each dough ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a metal spoon so that it forms a thick round disk (between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick). Smooth the edges of cookies if needed because the cookies do not spread much during baking. If desired, you can press some chopped pistachios on the surface of the cookies for decoration.
Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes until the cookies have puffed up and look set. Allow cookies to cool and fully set before removing them from the cookie sheet. The cookies will flatten slightly as they cool. Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature and longer in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
You can use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop if you prefer bigger cookies. I liked making mine to be 1-2 bite cookies.
