Categories     dessert

Time 5h30m

Yield 60 to 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup dried cherries
1 cup shelled pistachios
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 container red, green and white sprinkles

Steps:

  • Put the cherries, pistachios and brown sugar in a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms (take care not to over process or the filling will clump together). Set aside.
  • Put the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, baking powder and salt and beat for another minute. Lower the speed to medium and add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time; beat until smooth. Cover and place in the fridge to chill, about 1 hour.
  • Divide dough the in half and flatten each into squares. Put one portion of dough in between two 12-by-12-inch sheets of parchment paper dusted with flour. Roll out into a 1/8-inch-thick square. Remove the top parchment sheet and sprinkle half of the cherry-pistachio filling evenly across the dough. Pat into an even layer. Tightly roll into one large log (using the parchment to help you). Trim the ends and then roll the exterior in a mixture of sprinkles to coat. Repeat with the remaining dough, filling and sprinkles. Tightly cover in fresh parchment and refrigerate overnight (preferred) or at least 4 hours, until the dough is firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  • Remove and uncover the dough logs and slice with a very sharp knife into 1/4-inch-thick pinwheels. Arrange about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until slightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Store for up to 3 days in an airtight container, or freeze cookies for future use, up to 2 weeks.
  • Enjoy!

MORNING OATMEAL WITH CHERRIES AND PISTACHIOS



Morning Oatmeal With Cherries and Pistachios image

You can now find steel-cut oats that cook quickly. If you steep them the night before in boiling water (pit the cherries then, too), this breakfast is a quick one to put together.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield Two servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup steel-cut oatmeal, preferably the quick-cooking variety
Salt to taste
1 1/2 cups water
1 to 2 teaspoons honey, brown sugar or agave nectar
1 to 2 tablespoons pistachios, lightly toasted
3 ounces cherries 12 to 14, depending on the size, pitted and halved
Milk or almond beverage as desired

Steps:

  • The night before you plan to make this dish, place the oatmeal in a large microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan with the salt. Bring the water to a boil, and pour over the oatmeal. Cover tightly and leave overnight.
  • In the morning, stir in the honey, pistachios and cherries. Cover and microwave three to five minutes, or simmer for 10 minutes or so until the oatmeal has absorbed the liquid remaining in the bowl. Stir in milk or almond beverage as desired.

CHERRY PISTACHIO SLICE & BAKE COOKIES



Cherry Pistachio Slice & Bake Cookies image

Adapted from Yankee magazine. I think these cookies are just lovely and am hoping to make them this year. The pistachios provide lovely green specks of color, so although they would still taste nice with a different nut, you would lose the green-red holiday effect if you substitute. Sanding sugar is the coarse, sparkly sugar that is used to decorate cookies - unlike ordinary sugar, the crystals will stay whole and look like clear sparkly sprinkles on the cookie edges (you can also use red or green). Plan ahead as the dough must chill overnight.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Dessert

Time P1DT15m

Yield 4 dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (2 sticks)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, separated
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pistachio nut, roughly chopped
1 cup candied red cherries, chopped
1/3 cup white sparkly sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Cream butter, granulated sugar, and salt using a mixer.
  • Add egg yolk (cover and chill your egg white for later in the recipe) and beat well.
  • Add flour and nuts and stir with a wooden spoon (the mixer would toughen the dough) until blended.
  • Using your hands or wooden spoon, blend in the cherries- the dough will be firm and this will be tricky, which is why your clean hands might be best for this.
  • Divide dough into halves, roll each into a log and wrap in wax paper, sealing ends; chill overnight or at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F, line cookie sheets with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  • Lay out a pan big enough to roll your cookie logs around in and sprinkle the sanding sugar in the pan.
  • Open up one of your dough logs and lightly brush with egg white, then roll the log in the sugar to coat.
  • Place on a cutting board and slice into 1/2" rounds.
  • Bake cookies 12-15 minutes per batch, cooling on racks when done.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the cherries finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
  • Toast the pistachios. Toasting the pistachios will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats. These oats will give the cookies a chewy texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Cherry pistachio oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your cookies chewy or crispy, soft or crunchy, there is a cherry pistachio oatmeal cookie recipe out there for you.
