Almond-Pistachio Chewies Almond-Pistachio Chewies Recipe © 2013 by Shirley Fan and used by permission of The Harvard Common Press Similar to Italian pignoli cookies, these chewy treats have a bright and refreshing flavor from the lemon zest and a crunch from the crushed pistachios. They are great for shipping long distances because they are sturdy and keep for more than 2 weeks, actually improving in flavor over that time. The secret is the almond paste, which helps the cookies stay moist and flavorful. Ingredients 2 (8-ounce) cans almond paste (not marzipan), broken into pieces 2 large egg whites, at room temperature 11⁄3 cups confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoons honey 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 2⁄3 cup crushed pistachios Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners; set aside. 2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix the almond paste on low speed to soften. Add the egg whites and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add the sugar, honey, lemon zest, and salt, and mix on low speed. 3. Scatter the pistachios on a plate. Using your hands or a cookie dough scoop, form 1-inch balls with the dough. Coat one side of each dough ball with the nuts and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets with the nuts facing up, about 1 inch apart. Bake until the cookies are light golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. 4. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transfer- ring to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. Pack the cookies in a round airtight container, separating the layers with waxed or parchment paper. Alternatively, stack the cookies in cellophane bags. Tie the tops of the bags together with string or ribbon. MAKES ABOUT 4 DOZEN COOKIES .

  • Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly?
    Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly? Yes! Peanut butter contains carbohydrates, fat, and protein; the ratios of those macronutrients are what makes it acceptable for a keto diet. Our Once Again peanut butters that are made with one simple ingredient: peanuts, are a healthy addition to your keto diet. Peanuts are in the legume family, which includes a variety of beans. Generally speaking, legumes are not included in keto diets; however, peanuts have a higher fat content than other beans which makes them keto-friendly. Moreover, peanuts have a similar macronutrient distribution when compared to nuts such as almonds. They are high in fat and lower in carbs, and thus make a perfect food for the keto lifestyle. Peanut butter fits nicely into your keto diet as a dip for celery, or add it to smoothies, or experiment with it as an ingredient in salad dressings. Is Almond Butter Keto- Friendly? Yes! Almond butter is a staple for most following a keto lifestyle. Used often as a versatile ingredient in salad dressings, dips, and sauces, and in many other culinary innovations, nut butters in general have the desired macronutrient ration for a keto diet, and almond butter is a particularly good choice because of its fiber and vitamin E content. Most of our almond butters contain one simple ingredient: almonds. The newest addition to our product line is our Blanched Almond Butter, available in both in Extra Creamy and Crunchy varieties. Once Again Blanched Almond Butters contain only one gram of carbohydrate per serving! Blanching almonds involves removing the exterior of the almond, leaving behind a surprisingly nutty-sweet interior, with its lighter texture and color.
