Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Cherry Pistachio Crinkle Cookies:
1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in Add-Ins: Gently fold in the chopped pistachios and dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle.
8. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls.
9. Coat in Powdered Sugar: Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have cracked.
11. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
