    These Keto Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies are also gluten and sugar free.

     
    This recipe is based upon a standard thumbprint cookie recipe.

    I like the colorful accents in these cookies, the green pistachios and red jam, are especially perfect during the holiday season..

    Did you try my recipe for Sugar Free Caramel Thumbprint Cookies

    That thumbprint cookie features chocolate cookies with a caramel thumbprint center. Both this recipe for pistachio thumbprint cookies and that recipe for caramel thumbprint cookies would go nicely when served together.

    To make this recipe you will need chopped pistachios. You can find a variety of chopped pistachios here.

    What are Thumbprint Cookies?

    The quick answer is that thumbprint cookies are made with a thumbprint in the center. They are commonly seed especially during the holiday season.

    Thumbprint cookies have that indentation in the center to hold some kind of a filling. That filling can be jam, jelly, or even chocolate .

    What do pistachios do to baking?

    Pistachios add flavor as well as a sprinkle of color to these cookies.
    They also add a crunchy element in every bite.

    Even better, pistachios add a bit of protein and potassium as they are a decent source for these. Lastly, experts say that pistachios are a healthy fat and may also contain antioxidants.

    Here are some tips for making thumbprint cookies.

    While I am using pistachios to make these cookies more festive for the holidays, you are however welcome to use the nut of your choice. I like almonds or walnuts for example in this recipe.

    1. My cookies were made using raspberry jam in the center. You can use the flavor or color jam of your choice.
    2. While you could use your thumb to dent the center of the cookie, you could use something else. Using a wine cork or similar sized object instead can give your cookies a more uniform look.
    3. This cookie dough can be made ahead of time. Simply wrap the dough in plastic (air tight to avoid drying out) and refrigerate it.

    How to store thumbprint cookies.

    These cookies should be stored in an airtight container. If properly stored, they should keep for about five days at room temperature or a week if refrigerated.
