Pistachio Lemon Stars

Pistachio Lemon Cookies

Pistachios and fresh lemon zest are the stars of this delicious nutty citrus cookie recipe. Whole meal spelt flour instead of regular wheat flour, honey instead of sugar, and coconut butter makes them healthier than regular cookies.

Dark chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios make those pistachio lemon stars wonders also eye catching. They are less sweet than regular cookies, but because of the unique blend of pistachio/lemon flavor they are so delicious that you won’t even miss the sugar.
