Pistachio and Cherry Wedding Cookie image

I found another recipe and on another site...It sounded so good, but a couple measurements were off and I added some orange zest just for kicks and wow...it all worked out so well I couldn't wait to get it posted. Well, after I got all the powdered sugar off my chin...lol

I love the idea of these cookies, but I think they need a little something extra. Maybe some chocolate chips or nuts.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as pictured. They were flat and didn't have the same texture.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The cookies were dry and crumbly.
