White Chocolate Pistachio Cookies

These Gluten Free, White Chocolate Pistachio Cookies are a nice mix of sweet and Salty . They’re easy to make and are a nice change from plain old Chocolate Chip Cookies. They have just right amount of nutty flavor from the Chopped Pistachios and a Lovely Creaminess from the White Chocolate. If you are using Unsalted Pistachios add 1/2 of a Tsp of Sea Salt at the end. To add a little fruitiness to these already tasty cookies, try adding 1/2 of a cup of Dried Cranberries or Cherries.

Note: Rice Flour can vary from brand to brand. I’ve found that measurements can be different depending on the brand you’re using. The Thai brand which has red writing on the bag tends to be ground finer and can take more than the Indian rice flour that I get at Superstore. Both brands work wonderfully but there is a slight difference in the measurements, as I mentioned. Because of this, I like to add the flour a little a time until the consistency is right.
