    Pistachio Fingers

    Recently I posted a revised version of the Starbuck's Cranberry Bliss Bars using dried hibiscus flower that I received from Oh Nuts!.  I also received roasted, unsalted pisatchio's from them and I knew I was going to make a cookie that would include them.  This cookie turned out great - its a great coffee/tea cookie and were oh so yummy!  I actually used the pistachio to decorate the top, I didn't put them in the cookie itself.  I wanted to use flavors that I thought went well with pistachio, and my thoughts were cherry and white chocolate.

    Pistachio Fingers

    After digging in the liquor cabinet, I found some Cherry Brandy.  Bingo 🙂  I had just bought some white chocolate chips from Trader Joes (man, do I EVER love that place!) and decided I would use them as part of the drizzle top.  I promptly set Grumpy off to the woods on Thanksgiving morning and went to work in the kitchen.

    Pistachio Fingers

    These are crisp, not hard, and Grumpy actually loved them!  He's not much of a crunchy cookie eater, but he ate more than one which tells me they were a success.  I took these to my Aunt's house for Thanksgiving Dinner and my cousin Gregg proclaimed them very good and he asked me a couple of times how I made them.  So, for you Gregg and for Oh Nuts! I am submitting this recipe and I hope you will make them for your lovely Erin!  😉

      Shelby....made these to take into work tomorrow. Didn't have cherry brandy so substituted 1 Tbsp brandy extract and 2 Tbsp maraschino cherry juice. They came out great...definitely a recipe that I will make again.

      Yum! I don't think I've ever had a pistachio type of cookie. These sounds yummy!

      I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your family this year. 🙂

      I am over the top with this recipe! Was recently in Italy and had the most wonderful pistachio gelato and pasta with ground pistachios. I am definitely making these! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!

      Shelby those look so good - I'm not a big chocolate fan - so any cookies without chocolate are dangerous to me! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
