THE ONLY BASIC PISTACHIO BUTTER RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED
Homemade pistachio butter is one of the healthiest types of nut butters you can make. Pistachios are pricier than other nuts, but their powerful nutrition and delicate flavor make them worth the investment. Low in calories and fat, and rich in protein, pistachios boast some of the best bang-for-your-buck nutrition you can get from a nut. Memorize our basic pistachio butter recipe, then spice it up with any combination of ingredients-try ground cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, ground cardamom, grated orange zest, or even melted dark chocolate. Spread this luscious nut butter over toast, swirl it into homemade oatmeal, or mix it into cookie batter (swap peanut butter for pistachio butter in this thumbprint cookie recipe). For best results, use a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or a Ninja. (You can also use a food processor, but the nuts will take longer to break down.)

Steps:
- Place pistachios, salt, and honey (if using) into a blender. Starting on lowest speed, blend mixture until crumbly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Increase speed and blend about 3 to 4 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Use the rubber spatula to scoop pistachio butter into an airtight container. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. If your pistachios are not shelled, shell them before beginning.
- Place the shelled pistachios and salt in the bowl of a food processor . Close the lid and process.
- In the first minute or so, the pistachios will begin to grind into a fine powder.
- As the food processor continues to run, the powder will begin to thicken slightly. For a few minutes, the ground nuts will remain powdery, but don't be concerned. As the mixture continues to process, the fats in the pistachio nuts will release.
- Eventually, the powdery consistency will transform into the thick "buttery" consistency we associate with nut butter. If you prefer a slightly thinner nut butter, you can drizzle in a very small amount of neutral-flavored oil like vegetable oil or canola oil into the food processor as it runs.
- Once the pistachio butter has achieved the desired consistency, spoon into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy.

PISTACHIO BUTTER COOKIES
Steps:
- Pour 1/2 cup of the pistachios into a food processor and process until finely ground. With the motor running, start pouring in 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a thin stream through the food processor's opening, stopping when the ground pistachios turn into a paste, and adding more oil if needed. Scrape the pistachio butter into a bowl.
- Coarsely chop the remaining 1/4 cup of pistachios.
- With an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until incorporated. Beat on high spread until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. On medium speed, beat in the egg yolk and vanilla until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Beat in the pistachio butter until thoroughly blended.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. With the electric mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the pistachio butter mixture until there are no patches of flour. Add the chopped pistachios and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the dough in two. Transfer half the cookie dough to a large sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface and form it into a 7-inch log, using the plastic wrap to help roll and shape it. Wrap it in plastic wrap, twist the ends, and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
- When the logs are firm, set them back on your work surface, and use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 1/2-inch pieces. (You should have about two dozen.) Set as many of the cookies as you intend to bake about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet front to back halfway through cooking, until they are lightly golden and the edges have started to darken.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
- Put the remaining cookies on a second baking sheet and transfer it to the freezer.
- Freeze the cookies for at least an hour, until they are hard. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and put the cookies in a freezer-safe heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, rolling out the excess air before you seal it. Return to the freezer and store for up to 3 months. Bake the frozen cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
ROASTED PISTACHIO BUTTER
Pistachios contain less fat than other nuts, but they are still packed with protein and flavor, making them a fantastic choice for nut butter. Some brands contain sugar or hydrogenated oil, but you can make your own with just nuts - and maybe 1/4 cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds. For deeper flavor, roast the raw pistachios before blending. The seeds add a satisfying crunch and a more intense nut flavor, while a pinch of ground cardamom takes pistachio butter in a new direction. Swirl the finished product into your breakfast oatmeal or smoothie.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and nicely toasted, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a rack and cool completely, 30 minutes.
- Place nuts in a food processor along with seeds, if using, and purée until smooth, about 8 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed (mixture may clump up, but will eventually become creamy). Season to taste with salt, if desired. Pistachio butter will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.

- 1. For a vibrant green color and pure pistachio flavor, blanch and peel the pistachios. Pour pistachios into a saucepan and cover with 3 inches of cold water. Soak pistachios in water for 5 minutes, then heat the water and pistachio mixture over medium heat until just steaming (not boiling), about 10 minutes.
- 2. Remove one pistachio from the water using a slotted spoon. If the pistachio’s skin peels off easily, drain the pistachios and rinse under cold running water. (If not, return to the heat and check again in 2 minutes. Do not let the pistachios become soft.)
- 3. Transfer the rinsed pistachios to a clean kitchen towel. Fold the towel over and rub the pistachios to loosen their skins. Discard pistachio skins.
- 4. Transfer skinned pistachios to the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse blanched, skinned pistachios until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. For chunky pistachio butter, remove a tablespoon of chopped nuts and set aside.
