Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl using a hand mixer, beat together the coconut oil and sugar until smooth.
Next, add in the egg and almond extract and continue beating until smooth. Add in dry ingredients until a dough forms. Fold in the pistachios and optional white chocolate chips, leaving some for topping.
Roll the dough into cookies and place onto baking sheet. Lightly flatten and top with more pistachios. Bake for 11 min. Remove and let cool. Enjoy!
