Pistachio Honey Drizzle Cookies (Print Version)

Tender pistachio cookies with sweet honey glaze

# List of Ingredients:

01 - 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend

02 - ½ tsp baking powder

03 - ¼ tsp fine sea salt

04 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

05 - ⅔ cup granulated sugar

06 - 1 large egg

07 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

08 - ¾ cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

09 - ¼ cup honey, for drizzling

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.

03 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

04 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

06 - Gently fold in the chopped pistachios, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish.

07 - Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

08 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still appear slightly soft.

09 - Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10 - Once cooled, drizzle honey over each cookie and sprinkle with the reserved chopped pistachios. Allow the honey to set before serving.

01 -

The texture is somewhere between a shortbread and a chewy sugar cookie, which means they satisfy every craving at once
That honey drizzle looks impressive but takes literally thirty seconds to pull off
They are naturally gluten-free without tasting like cardboard or sadness

02 -

Gluten-free dough behaves differently than regular dough, so trust your eyes over the timer when checking for doneness
The honey will remain tacky for several hours, so do not stack these cookies until the drizzle has fully set

03 -

Weigh your flour instead of using cup measurements, as gluten-free blends can pack down differently than wheat flour
If your honey is too thick to drizzle, warm it in a small bowl over a mug of hot water for 30 seconds
