Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Pistachio Cookies

Description

Happy March! Starting the month out with a delicious and simple cookie recipe. If I could create a cookie for my mom’s taste buds, I think this might be it. Salty and sweet, chocolatey and FULL of chopped pistachios! So yummy! I used roasted and salted pistachios but if you have unsalted, just add a pinch of salt to the dough. These would also be delicious with white chocolate chunks if that is more your jam. Enjoy!

1 1/2 cups (195g) 1:1 gluten free flour blend
