Cookie method:

  1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees C.
  2. Place all cookie ingredients into a food processor and pulse until sticky when pressed between the fingers. Add a bit more maple syrup if the mixture does not stick together.
  3. Line baking tray with baking paper.
  4. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the cookie mixture, roll into balls and then flatten with your hands until you get a nice flat cookie. Repeat with remaining cookie mixture.
  5. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Let cool on cooling rack.
  6. To make the raw chocolate, melt the coconut oil on low heat if not already melted then add the raw cacao and whisk to get rid of any lumps. Tip: sieve the raw cacao powder to prevent this. Then add the syrup and mix well until silky smooth.
  7. Drizzle/dip the cookies into the raw chocolate mixture and then place back on the tray and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
  8. Place into the fridge and set.
  9. Keep cookies in an airtight container.
