Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, pistachios, raisins, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla; add to flour mixture, and mix until combined (dough will be stiff; use hands if necessary to incorporate flour). Divide dough in half.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll each dough half into a 12-inch log; transfer logs to a baking sheet, and gently press to a 7/8-inch thickness. Bake until risen and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheet, about 30 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. On a cutting board, use a serrated knife to slice logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Lay slices in a single layer on baking sheet; bake until dry and just starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Using a food processor or blender will make the dough come together quickly and easily.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to mix it until it is well combined and there are no dry spots.
- The dough will be sticky, so be sure to grease your hands or use a spoon to handle it.
- If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, or the dough will become dry and crumbly.
- Be sure to press the dough firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the crisps from crumbling when you cut them.
- Bake the crisps until they are golden brown and the edges are just starting to brown.
- Let the crisps cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
