These vegan white chocolate and pistachio cookies were 
delicious.  It’s one of those vegan recipes that have good texture, 
smooth, sweet, and nutty flavour of the white chocolate and 
pistachio. I highly recommend these to anyone who’s looking for 
delicious vegan treats!
 My family has been making these white chocolate and pistachio 
cookies for generations. Now, I’m bringing them to you with my 
vegan spin as a vegan recipe.Who doesn’t love a little bit of nutty 
goodness every now and then?  
As a young kid, I always loved coming home from school to fresh 
biscuits. It wasn’t something we had daily but often mum would whip 
up a batch of home-made Italian biscuits. I guess now, as an adult, 
home-made biscuits take me back to that happy, safe place. 
Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
1 ½ cups almond meal - a great substitute in vegan baking and 
added nutrients

2 flax eggs - to make mix tablespoons flax and 6 of water. Works as 
an egg substitue.
1/3 cup melted coconut oil- a great alternative to butter if cooking 
vegan food
3 tablespoons peanut butter - instead of using butter try a nut butter 
- you an use any nut butter in this recipe
Pinch salt - balances the sweetness
½ cup pistachio nuts - they add so much flavour and texture
½ cup white chocolate chips - there are a few vegan options around. 
if not vegan sub out for any diary chocolate

removes the need for refined sugars
¾ cup coconut sugar - a wonderful alternative to refined sugars

butter, coconut sugar, salt, and maple syrup

Equipment you Need
• Large mixing bowl
• Baking tray
• Baking Paper or silicone mat
• Mixing spoon
• Measuring Cups
• Cooling rack
• So let’s chat about what’s in the biscuits and why I prefer to use 
ingredients closer to their whole form.
• First up is coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is made from the sap of 
coconut trees and it has a lower glycemic index (GI) than white 
sugar or brown sugar. This means it won’t spike your blood glucose 
levels as much as other types of sugar and therefore won’t cause 
spikes in energy levels (or mood swings) after eating these delicious 
vegan treats!
• Coconut sugar also contains iron, calcium, zinc, and potassium 
which are essential for cell function and growth. It also contains 
more vitamins than regular sugar does (vitamin C, B6).
• These cookies are gluten-free as well! The flour replacement we use 
is an almond flour; it adds a great nutty flavour to these cookies 
which complements the pistachio flavour perfectly! Almonds are low 
in carbs and high in protein and fibre. Both protein and fibre are 
known to increase feelings of fullness. That can help you eat fewer 
calories.
• Plus, swapping out butter for peanut butter makes them vegan too! 
Peanut butter contains protein, monounsaturated fats, fibre, and 
Vitamin E. This makes it a great alternative to butter or margarine in 
these cookies, as it has similar binding properties and they will hold 
together well.
• You can also make this recipe with dark chocolate and macadamia 
nuts, or substitute any other kind of nut. And if you want to add 
some fruit flavour, try adding sultanas or cranberries.
