Ingredients

Dough

Pistachio Filling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Combine dough ingredients in a food processor. Run the processor until a dough ball comes together.
  • Combine filling ingredients in a small blender. Pulse until smooth. You may need to add a half tablespoon of water to get it to come together. It will be somewhat smooth with larger pieces throughout and should be very soft and pliable but not runny.
  • Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls. Flatten each ball into a thin round sheet. Place about 2 teaspoons of filling into each flattened disc and carefully fold the sides up and over – the dough is crumbly and if it breaks, just press it back together. Ensure the filling is covered and then press into cookie presses. I used these.
  • Place onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes at 400ºF, or until lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely before dusting with more powdered monk fruit.
