Gluten-Free Chocolate Pistachio Cookies with Date Lady Organic Date Sugar

Recipe 

Ingredients
	•	1 cup oat flour
	•	¾ cup powdered pistachios
	•	½ cup softened butter
	•	1 cup Date Lady Organic Date Sugar
	•	¼ cup milk
	•	½ tsp vanilla extract
	•	1 tsp baking soda
	•	1 cup chocolate chips

Topping
	•	2 tbsp chopped pistachios
	•	1 tbsp chocolate chips

Tips:

1. To make powdered pistachios, grind raw pistachios in a mixer grinder. Recipe needs 3/4 cup powdered pistachios not raw pistachios.

2. To make oat flour, grind oats in a mixer grinder or you can use store bought oat flour.

Directions
	1.	Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
	2.	Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Grind pistachios in a food processor. 
	3.	Mix butter and oat flour using a stand mixer, electric mixer, or hand mixer.
	4.	Add remaining ingredients except toppings and mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.
	5.	Scoop about 1–2 tablespoons of dough using a cookie scoop or spoon. Roll into balls and place on the prepared tray about 2 inches apart.
	6.	Flatten slightly with a spatula. Add chopped pistachios and chocolate chips on top, then press lightly so they stick.
	7.	Bake for 9–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cookies will appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
	8.	Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your chewy, nutty, chocolatey pistachio cookies!
