For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the coconut flakes lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat before adding them to the dough. Watch carefully to prevent burning! Chopping the pistachios too finely will cause them to disappear into the dough. Aim for a coarser chop to ensure a pleasant crunch in every bite. For perfectly round cookies, use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to gently nudge the cookies into shape as soon as they come out of the oven. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
