  • 200g ground almonds
  • 300g shelled pistachios
  • 200g desiccated coconut
  • 100 ml chickpea water
  • zest of 2 small oranges
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine:

    • 200g ground almonds
    • 200g coarsely chopped pistachios
    • zest of 2 small oranges
    • 200g desiccated coconut
  2. Add 80-100ml chickpea water (aquafaba), enough to bind all the ingredients together and produce a sticky cookie dough.

  3. Coarsely chop 100g pistachios and set aside.

  4. Divide the dough into 28 equally sized pieces (each cookie weighs 25g). Roll each portion of dough between the palms of your hands and then lightly press into chopped pistachios to coat on both sides.

  5. Preheat the oven to 175° C / 350° F / GM 4. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until they are lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool down before transferring to a plate (or else they may fall apart).
