Ingredients
  

  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 g pistachios, chopped
  • 50 g shredded coconut, plus extra for topping
  • 50 g ground coffee
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Extra pistachios for garnishing optional
  • Drizzle of melted dark chocolate optional

Equipment

  • 20 cm (8 inch) square baking tray
  • Heatproof mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking tray lined with parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2–3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add the egg to the mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground coffee, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped pistachios and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  6. Using a tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each.
  7. Sprinkle a few additional coconut flakes on top of each cookie for decoration.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set but still soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to rest on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are incredibly versatile! If you don't have pistachios on hand, feel free to substitute with walnuts or almonds. For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead of butter. To keep them fresh, store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, where they should last up to a week. For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of cardamom! Enjoy making and sharing these delicious treats!
