Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a bowl, sift the flour, soda and salt together. Set aside.
- 2. In a mixer bowl cream the butter with the sugars, Until nice and fluffy.
- 3. Add the egg and extracts.
- 4. Now, beat in the cream cheese, thoroughly blending. Mix in the dry ingredients. I then mix in the coconut.
- 5. By hand stir in the nuts, cranberries and coconut.
- 6. On an ungreased cookie sheet; you can either drop the cookies by a rounded tablespoonful. Or I rolled mine into a bit smaller than a golf ball size. I wanted mine to stay round and not spread out. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. ( I take mine out when they look a little doughy in the center.) They will not get brown. Keep a watch on them. Mine were done between 13 - 15 minutes. Leave set on sheets for a few minutes, before removing to rack to finish cooling.
- 7. I made an orange glaze out of butter,milk, orange extract and confectioners' sugar . I also sprinkled some with sugar as I took them from the oven. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality pistachios and coconut. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
- Toast the pistachios before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
