Ingredients
- 1 cup ground raw unsalted pistachios(shelled )
- 2 cups finely ground white almond
- ยฝ cup granulated sugar
- 1 lemon juice
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- to 3 egg whites
- ยฝ cup sifted powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
These cookies are dairy and gluten free. They are soft, a little chewy and obviously yummy!
-
In a bowl, put all the ingredients except the powdered sugar and egg whites.
-
Mix all the ingredients with hands and add in the beaten egg whites little by little. Mix well until the mixture get together. The dough mixture should not be too wet, so you may not need to use all the egg whites.
-
Let the pistachio mixture rest for 10 minutes.
-
Make small balls with the pistachio mixture.
-
Roll the dough balls in the powdered sugar.
-
Place dough balls in a baking sheet covered with parchment paper two inches apart from each other.
-
Flatten the dough balls slightly by gently pressing with your hands.
-
Bake in a 350ยฐF preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they turn lightly brown. The cookies will have pretty little cracks as they bake.
-
Let cool then serve.

Thank you for your comment!
Pistachio flavoured things are my total favourite – in fact my best friend actually made a pistachio loaf cake for me for my birthday! So I’ll definitely give these cookies a go (or she can hehe!) x
Aww that’s nice!
I have never tasted this flavor cookie before and I am a cookie lover. It looks very light and the recipe seems flavorful. Is it moist?
Yes they are moist and tasty!
Pistachio cookies are awesome. I love cookies that have these nuts in them are awesome. And it’s so cool that they can be dairy and gluten free at the same.

I have a major sweet tooth so I can basically already taste these cookies just by reading your post. It sounds like they’re quite easy to make. Might just try it. Yummie.

I’ve never heard of this type of cookie before. I’m not typically a big fan of pistachio but I am a big fan of cookies so I just might like it.
Aww! thank you.
I never knew this Italian Pistachio Cookies. Seem like easy to make it. Good to know about it and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Vijay.
They sound delicious although nuts is a no go area for me. My partner would love this though.
