Pistachio Crinkle Cookies
One of my absolute favorite cookies for any time of year, these pistachio crinkle cookies are soft, chewy, and full of flavor! If you love everything pistachio like me, these are the cookies for you. Naturally green with a generous coating of powdered sugar, the colors are perfect for holiday baking!

Makes: 16 cookies
Ingredients:

- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup super-fine almond flour
- 1 cup pistachios, finely processed into a coarse flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- powdered sugar for coating
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 300F and prepare two parchment paper-lined aluminum baking sheets.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip together the egg whites, lemon juice, and almond extract until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, processed pistachios, sugar, and salt.
- Gently stir in the whipped eggs mixture with a rubber spatula until combined.
