Ingredients
  

  • 150 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g sugar
  • 100 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 75 g pistachios, finely chopped
  • 50 g shredded coconut, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Additional toasted coconut for garnish optional
  • Drizzle of dark chocolate optional

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking tray
  • Baking tray lined with parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a mixing spoon. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the finely chopped pistachios and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
  7. Press a few pieces of toasted coconut on top of each cookie dough ball for extra crunch and flavor.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the pistachios with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if you prefer.
Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can elevate the flavor even more!
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, and they can easily be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crunch.
