# List of Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tsp baking soda
03 - 1/2 tsp salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
05 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar
07 - 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
08 - 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
09 - 1 1/2 tsp rose water
→ Mix-ins
10 - 3/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
11 - 3/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
12 - 2 tbsp dried edible rose petals
# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and rose water; whisk to combine thoroughly.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
05 - Fold in chopped pistachios and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
06 - Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
07 - Gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon or your palm. If using rose petals, sprinkle lightly on top of each cookie.
08 - Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still appear slightly soft.
09 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The combination of rose and pistachios feels like something from a fancy bakery but comes together in under 30 minutes
- These cookies stay perfectly soft for days thanks to the coconut oil base
02 -
- Rose water potency varies wildly between brands, so start with the lower amount and add more drop by drop
- These cookies continue to firm up as they cool, so pulling them out when they still look slightly soft is the secret to perfect texture
03 -
- Room temperature coconut oil incorporates much more easily than cold, so plan ahead and let it melt naturally
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is particularly warm; this prevents the cookies from spreading too thin
