- 1 3/4 cup Pistachio flour

- 1/4 cup Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Layer a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside
- Mix the dry ingredients – pistachio flour, baking soda, baking powder, cardamom powder and salt, set aside
- Mix the wet ingredients – maple syrup and olive oil
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined
- Now add the WW flour 1 tbsp at a time mixing lightly, till a cookie dough consistency is reached, I have sometimes used up to 8 tbsps, this depends on the nature of the nut flour as to how much WW Flour it can absorb, so do this step carefully
- Add pistachio pieces and mix lightly
- Taking a large tablespoon, scoop out oval shaped cookies and place on cookies sheet 2 inches apart
- Bake for 12 minutes, turn of oven and leave it in the hot oven for another 8 minutes
- The bottom will be a beautiful golden crisp and tops will have some brown. The center will still be chewy. If you like extra crispy cookies, keep it for another 4-5 minutes
- Take out of oven and have it warm or cool completely and store in air tight containers. It will stay in the pantry for upto a month
