Notes
Baking time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake, as baking time depends on your oven settings and thickness of cookies. Check at 10 minute mark and continue baking if necessary.
Oil: Grease kid's palms with oil before making small balls from dough to prevent it from sticking to their palms.
Don't overgrind pistachios: Overgrinding causes pistachios to release oil and turn pasty which can make the dough greasy.
Crumbly dough: If dough is too crumbly to hold the shape, add a splash of maple syrup to help it bind.
Too sticky dough: Add a spoonful of almond flour to adjust the consistency of the dough.
