Instructions
Directions
- Chop the pistachios and dark chocolate, setting aside some pistachios for topping. In a large bowl, whisk melted vegan butter with coconut sugar until clumpy. Add cashew milk, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in all-purpose flour until just combined. Then, mix in the dark chocolate chunks and most of the chopped pistachios, ensuring a beautiful blend of flavors and textures.
- Scoop cookie dough (about 3 tablespoons each) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Freeze for 20-30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape into cookies.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chilled cookie dough on a baking sheet, pressing the reserved pistachios on top. Bake for 12 minutes until golden brown at the edges and delightfully soft in the center.
- Allow cookies to cool fully on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
Optional: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an extra indulgent finish! Monitor your cookies closely while baking; they should be golden brown at the edges and soft in the center when done.
