Beat with an electric mixer. Add eggs one at the time and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
Make 10 medium cookies or 15 smaller ones on the parchment paper. Keep space between them because they are going to become bigger.

Instead of ground pistachios, you can use pistachio butter or coconut butter if preferred.
