Gooey Pistachio Cream Filling

  • 2 tbsp pistachio butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1-2 teaspoon coconut flour or oat flour

Instructions

  • Make the Pistachio Cream Filling
  • Mix pistachio butter, honey, sea salt, and coconut/oat flour until thick and creamy.
  • Scoop ½–1 tsp dollops onto parchment.
  • Freeze 30–40 minutes, until firm and solid.
  • Make the Cookie Dough
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, fine sea salt, and 1 tsp coconut flour (or 2–3 tsp oat flour).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk honey, melted coconut oil, egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  • Fold in chopped pistachios and chocolate chips (if using).
  • If dough feels sticky, let it rest 5 minutes — the coconut/oat flour will continue absorbing moisture.
  • Assemble the Cookies- Scoop dough into 8–10 portions.
  • Flatten each portion to about ½ inch thick.
  • Place a frozen pistachio filling dollop in the center.
  • Wrap the dough around it and seal completely.
  • Press a few extra pistachios or chocolate chips on top.
  • Chill the assembled cookies 10–15 minutes before baking.
  • Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and tops look slightly puffy.
  • Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Let cool 20–30 minutes before lifting or pulling apart.
  • (Almond‑flour stuffed cookies firm up as they cool.)
