If you love pistachio and baked sweets these cookies will please you a lot. But if you don't like pistachio don't worry because you can use other nuts instead of pistachio flour, such as hazelnut, almond, etc. You can buy vegan white chocolate or make it at home, here I explain how to make it.

Method

Prepare the dough. It is possible to do it in a planetary mixer or by hand. Preheat the oven to 170°C fan. In the bowl of a planetary mixer weigh the cold margarine cut into cubes, add almond flour, pistachio flour, all-purpose flour and baking.

Mix with the paddle hook at medium speed for several minutes until you obtain a sandy mixture. Then add salt, powdered sugar and cane sugar (Demerara). Mix for a couple of minutes until the dough starts to bind and is no longer sandy.

Prepare 2 baking trays with baking paper or silicone mat. Form balls of dough of about 35 g each and then flatten them slightly. Place the cookies on the tray slightly spaced from each other.

Bake in a fan oven at 170°C for about 20 minutes. Cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Melt the white chocolate and bring it to about 22-24˚C.
