THE ONLY BASIC PISTACHIO BUTTER RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED
Homemade pistachio butter is one of the healthiest types of nut butters you can make. Pistachios are pricier than other nuts, but their powerful nutrition and delicate flavor make them worth the investment. Low in calories and fat, and rich in protein, pistachios boast some of the best bang-for-your-buck nutrition you can get from a nut. Memorize our basic pistachio butter recipe, then spice it up with any combination of ingredients-try ground cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, ground cardamom, grated orange zest, or even melted dark chocolate. Spread this luscious nut butter over toast, swirl it into homemade oatmeal, or mix it into cookie batter (swap peanut butter for pistachio butter in this thumbprint cookie recipe). For best results, use a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or a Ninja. (You can also use a food processor, but the nuts will take longer to break down.)

PISTACHIO BUTTER COOKIES
Steps:
- Pour 1/2 cup of the pistachios into a food processor and process until finely ground. With the motor running, start pouring in 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a thin stream through the food processor's opening, stopping when the ground pistachios turn into a paste, and adding more oil if needed. Scrape the pistachio butter into a bowl.
- Coarsely chop the remaining 1/4 cup of pistachios.
- With an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until incorporated. Beat on high spread until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. On medium speed, beat in the egg yolk and vanilla until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Beat in the pistachio butter until thoroughly blended.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. With the electric mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the pistachio butter mixture until there are no patches of flour. Add the chopped pistachios and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the dough in two. Transfer half the cookie dough to a large sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface and form it into a 7-inch log, using the plastic wrap to help roll and shape it. Wrap it in plastic wrap, twist the ends, and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
- When the logs are firm, set them back on your work surface, and use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 1/2-inch pieces. (You should have about two dozen.) Set as many of the cookies as you intend to bake about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet front to back halfway through cooking, until they are lightly golden and the edges have started to darken.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
- Put the remaining cookies on a second baking sheet and transfer it to the freezer.
- Freeze the cookies for at least an hour, until they are hard. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and put the cookies in a freezer-safe heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, rolling out the excess air before you seal it. Return to the freezer and store for up to 3 months. Bake the frozen cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.

- To prepare cookies: Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat (you want to use the butter while it’s still warm).
- Place pistachios and sugar in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are ground but still slightly chunky; don’t overprocess into a paste. Add all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, matcha and salt and pulse a few times to blend.
- Whisk egg whites in a medium bowl. Add the nut mixture and stir with a flexible spatula until thoroughly blended. Gradually and gently incorporate the butter, stirring lightly—it will take a little while to get all the butter into the batter—until the batter is thick and shiny. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a mini muffin tin (24 mini cups) with cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the cups.

- To begin, you need to roast the pistachios in the oven at 165ºC (fan assisted) for 10 minutes, turning them halfway.
- Next, you simply blend the pistachios in a high-speed processor or blender. Depending on how powerful your blender is, this is best done in intervals so the nuts ( or the machine) don't overheat. The longer you blend them, the runnier in consistency your butter will be. *
- Once you've reached your desired consistency (for me, the smoother the better!) then add the salt to the blender and give a quick blitz to combine thoroughly.
