CHERRY PISTACHIO COOKIES
The combination of dried cherries, pistachios, and lemon zest are an absoluteley divine medley of flavors. These cookies are mostly mixed by using your hands. This makes for a completely homogenous dough. The cookies are baked in a slow oven, similar to shortbread. These are soft textured and adequately sweet. You will notice...

Steps:
- 1. Grind the 1/4 cup flour with the 1/4 cup pistachios in a mini chopper or a clean coffee grinder until a coarse meal is achieved. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for fresh, high-quality cherries and pistachios.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
Conclusion:
Cherry pistachio cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their vibrant color and nutty flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
