To make Millet, Almond and Pistachio Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 355 °F and line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper.
Using a high speed blender or coffee grinder, pulse ½ cup of millet until mixture resembles a flour-like texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine millet flour, 1 cup of ground almonds, ½ teaspoon of cardamom and a pinch of baking soda and salt each, then stir in ⅓ cup of chopped pistachios and the zest from ½ a lemon.
In a separate bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined and dough is formed. If the dough feels too dry, add some more coconut oil. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Once rested, use your hands to roll 16 small balls and then arrange evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball with a spoon or palm of a hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until the cookies are light golden brown.
Cool and serve!
