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

Ingredients

1 1/2 c pistachios, for added flavor toast these first, not necessary but highly recommended
1 1/2 c dried cherries (7 oz pkg)
2 c butter
2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 Tbsp orange zest, fine, optional
4 c flour

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350...butter or spray 2 cookie sheets.
2. Place pistachios and cherries in food processor and process lightly until both are nicely chopped, do not over process you don't want powdered pistachios.
3. In a mixer bowl beat butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and salt, then add pistachios, cherries and zest, if desired. Slowly beat flour into creamed mixture until just blended.
4. Shape generous tablespoons of dough into 2"x 1" logs. Place on cookie sheets 1" apart and bake one sheet at a time, 16 minutes or until just starting to turn a golden color around bottom edges.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The cookies didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of pistachio and cherry, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The cookies were delicious and the two flavors complemented each other perfectly.
